About this listen

Holmes meets Joseph Haydn in London and the two form an instant bond.

This encounter and a later one with Haydn's young acquaintance, Beethoven, assume a new importance when Holmes and Watson travel to Vienna on a diplomatic mission and are consulted by Constanze Mozart, widow of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Who commissioned her husband to write a requiem? Why was the commission made through an intermediary? And how can the commissioner be persuaded to pay the balance of the fee when the Requiem remains unfinished?

Holmes applies the full panoply of his skills to deliver a solution critical to the history of music.

I really liked this story, focussing as it does on Holmes love of music and also of justice. The story is well placed, with good charactisation and pacing. I won't reveal any spoilers here, but its a must if you live music and intrigure.

Another interesting, but in this case straightforward case for Holmes into the realm of classical music and famous composers. It was an entertaining distraction.
