The weirdest thing of all happened one very hot summer day while he was alone in his house. He heard a loud knock on the door, and when he opened it, he found a man dressed in dark clothes from head to foot with a great, dark hood covering his head.

He handed Wolfgang a piece of paper, asking him to compose a requiem. A requiem is musical piece written to honor the dead.

He gave Wolfgang alot of money to do this.

This really scared him. He was sure that he was going to die soon and that the song he was writing was for his own funeral.

Over the next several months, Wolfgang was obsessed with writing this piece for the stranger in the dark cloak, never really knowing who he was.

As he wrote this requiem, his illness became more severe. In fact, he became so ill that he could not even get out of bed, and it became hard for him to breathe.
