      The one of Schumann was actually published as a stunning beautiful variation which titled as Geistervariationen, ghost variation, absolutely worthy to be listened deeply.
      It literally made me cry in the soul when I first time met it in the hardest time of my life. It concentrates so much of pain and beauty of his life, chaos and sensation as the serious schizophrenia patient, you can really hear how he identified his auditory hallucinations as a sweet but hurtful melody (in which was the ghost singing by his ear, according to Schmann), organized it into the music, and the music gradually broke down with his soul, crying, resisting, until the final you couldn't fight anymore, what left was a slight wrysmile.

      The story goes that Bach was blind for the last few months of his life. One day, he called one of his sons into his room, saying excitedly that he could see again. Then he had him bring a pen and paper because he heard music. He dictated to his son what he was hearing in his head and then passed away shortly thereafter. That piece was this chorale. The story is almost certainly largely apocryphal but I still love it and think it really suits the piece it’s associated with.

    So many of these seem as though their composers were still in their creative prime, with plenty of energy and ideas still left to share with the world. Even the oldest composers seemed so full of inspiration. That is except Mozart's Lacrimosa. Whereas many of these pieces could be seen as a celebration of life, Mozart's seems like a resignation and departure from music as much as it was from life. As an artist, he seemed to embody every emotion and feeling he had, and this was his last piece to share to the world about these complicated and nuanced feelings of what death and forgiveness felt like, and the result became one of the most iconic and chilling pieces in the classical repertoire, as a bitter and sobering reminder of an experience that we all await.

      The lacrimosa takes part in mozart's Messa da requiem, a mass done for one's death (literally from latin "mass for rest"). It's almost as if death wrote it through him. At about half of the lacrimosa, mozart died and it is likely that a student of his took over and finished the lacrimosa and the rest of the requiem following mozart's instructions. Highly recommend listening to it, not only the lacrimosa but the whole requiem

    "On the night of 17 February 1854, Schumann, suffering from severe aural hallucinations, claimed that he heard angels dictating a theme to him. If Clara Schumann’s diary entries are to be believed, Schumann immediately wrote down the theme, and on either 22 or 23 February started writing variations on it. At 2 in the afternoon of 27 February Schumann tried to drown himself in the icy Rhine; he was rescued by bargemen who dragged him ashore. The next day he returned to these variations and (it seems) completed them. He sent the work to Clara, but by then she had already left to stay with a friend at the advice of a doctor. On 4 March Schumann voluntarily committed himself to an asylum in Endenich, where he would die just a little over 2 years later."

    Beethoven last piece is such an interesting topic, the last thing he completed was his new final movement to opus 130, but Last Musical Thoughts is the last substantial thing he wrote (and the only way it survived was by a piano transcription that Diabelli made)
    Beethoven left many sketches throughout his life: 6th piano concerto, 10th symphony, oboe concerto (possibly lost), early versions of works, etc. We have luck that we have so many sketches to see, Mozart as examples didn't leave many sketches behind (and a part was destroyed by Constance)

      Yeah. I’ve heard speculations that since we have nothing of the original string quintet, maybe it was never really written by Beethoven at all, much like the Farewell to Piano that was once attributed to Beethoven but is now pretty universally thought to not be Beethoven’s work. And yeah, it’s nice to have so many Beethoven sketches. I know I plan on transcribing some of those sketches that I can find on IMSLP into MuseScore for the Classical Music Library I’m making with MuseScore, maybe even take a shot at completing some of them like the early C minor symphony sketch(not the Fifth Symphony sketches, but the one dating from before the First Symphony, the one with a Hess number)?
      I don’t know, I’m like having mixed feelings on completing Beethoven sketches. On the one hand, it would be nice to have more than just the sketch. On the other hand, I’d be afraid I’m taking too much from the middle period to really have a good completion of it. Of course, his middle period style elements do show up earlier in C minor pieces(Even his very first composition, 9 Variations on a March by Dressler, arguably has middle period style elements showing through), so maybe some Fifth Symphony influence in the completion of the early C minor symphony sketch wouldn’t be bad? I don’t know.

    Beethoven's last musical thought sounds victorious, as if he still didn't want to leave this world as he was ready to do great things, what I would have given to hear them.
    Satie's last piece sounds like ragtime since he was probably influenced by it, I guess you never know what to expect from certain composers.
    I'm glad that not all of the latest composers' pieces sound sad, I'm glad that not all the latest pieces by composers sound sad, it's not that I have anything against it, actually I imagined some of them like Chopin, Schumann, Grieg or Saint-Saëns playing them.

It is catalogued as Bia. 849, the final Biamonti number of the catalogue and it was written in March 1827, ten or twelve days before his death.

    i think my favorite final works are the adagio from Mahler's 10th and Berg's violin concerto. The former is famous for it's 10 note chord, a "scream of anguish" unprecedented in tonal music. Berg's final completed thoughts wound up causing him to leave Lulu unfinished, but he was spurred into writing his violin concerto "to the memory of an angel" after the passing of Alma Mahler-Gropius' 18 year old daughter, obviously unaware he would pass soon after. The music is dodecaphonic but the row is comprised of the open strings of the violin, filled in by thirds to create tonal implications. The final four notes of the row are an ascending whole tone scale which allows him to quote Bach's chorale setting of "Es ist genug". Very haunting moment of resignation and serenity. Webern was to conduct the premiere of the work shortly after Berg's passing, but for one reason or another was unable to go through with it, and the baton was passed to hermann scherchen.

    • @remomazzetti8757

      The Adagio to Mahler's 10th is NOT his last music. He left a 2000 measure draft of the entire 5 movement Symphony, and there's every reason to believe that the glorious Finale was his last music. In any case, he sketched the entire symphony in July of 1910 but didn't die until May 18, 1911, so it wasn't written on his deathbed.

      The Art of Fugue was left unfinished because Bach became blind and was unable to work with it, which means 1749 would be the date of Contrapunctus 14's (19 if you count the five canons) last bars.
      The chorale BWV 668 was actually composed years prior, possibly dating back to Weimar before he came to Leipzig. But the one shown in this video is a variant, BWV 668a, that Bach had orally notated in his deathbed in early 1750. This is a more complete version, and there is a wide consensus that this was Bach's very final musical piece.
