On October 26, 1783, Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor received its premiere at St. Peter’s Abbey in Salzburg. One of Mozart’s most monumental sacred works, the Mass is celebrated for its dramatic contrasts, intricate choral writing, and profound emotional depth, though it remained unfinished at his death.
