Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Editor: Michael Ostrzyga Instrumentation (this edition): Piano Reduction, SATB Choir Originally for: SATB Choir, Orchestra Work: Requiem, K. 626 Binding: Paperback Work Language: Latin ISMN: 9790006569267 Size: 7.5 x 10.6 inches Pages: 151 Urtext / Critical Edition Description This publication offers a source-critical edition of Mozart's fragmentary "Requiem" as well as an alternative to the traditional Süßmayr version. It makes it possible to perform 1) the fragment, identified in print in both the score and the parts, 2) the authentic sections left incomplete by Mozart, now in a stylistically appropriate orchestration, and 3) those sections missing entirely in the fragment, newly added in Mozart's idiom taking into account historical additions by Süßmayr and Eybler. When completing the fragment, the editor drew on comprehensive comparative and analytical studies of Mozart's church style and compositional workmanship.
