From what i know, Mozart's father had died quite near to his writing of "Dies Irae" and this piece was to represent the guilt he felt for not having followed the path his father had wanted him to. When his father died, Mozart and him had not spoken to one another for years. That's why when you listen to this beautiful piece of music, you feel uneasy, as if you are being judged. All his emotions towards the death of his father come pouring out in this magnificent piece.
