aNYONE KNOW THE NAME FOR THE LAST PIECE OF A COMPOSERS WORK. thOUGHT IT MIGHT BE OPUS?

[MarkRae]

The Latin word opus just means 'work' in the sense of a literary, musical or artistic work. The plural is, in fact, opera.

A composer's final composition is sometimes referred to as his or her 'opus ultimum':
