Destination Sistine Chapel
In the famous chapel Mozart heard the Miserere by Allegri. This 9-part chorale was only allowed to be heard in the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week and it was forbidden to make a copy of the piece of music under threat of excommunication. Hardly any traveler to Rome missed this experience during Holy Week. Mozart listened very intently and, back in his lodgings, copied the notes onto paper from memory, practically without errors. After a second visit, minor errors are still being corrected.
