Mozart W.a. - Requiem KV 626 - Fac Simile

Description

Mozart’s RequiemTruth and LegendMozart’s “Requiem” is fraught with questions and emotions:the expressive depth of its music, sorrow at the great composer’s early death, truth and legend, fragments and attempts to complete the work.The surviving manuscript reflects its dramatic history:Mozart’s handwriting often appears on the same page as inscriptions by Süssmayr and others.One corner of a page with Mozart’s final musical thoughts was later stolen, but an old photograph bears witness to it.

This high-quality new facsimile presents each page individually trimmed to convey a vivid impression of the original.Besides a detailed description of the manuscript by Günter Brosche, the volume contains a Foreword by Christoph Wolff depicting the work’s genesis.BÄRENREITER FACSIMILEThe seal is used exclusively for facsimile editions published by Bärenreiter which meet the highest demands in both scholarly and technical terms.
