| Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus | Requiem
Completed and edited by Michael Ostrzyga | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Ostrzyga, Michael | | BA 11310 | EUR 69.00 | Full score | 9790006569199 | This publication offers a source-critical edition of Mozart's fragmentary "Requiem" as well as an alternative to the traditional Sussmayr 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 Sussmayr and Eybler.
When completing the fragment, the editor drew on comprehensive comparative and analytical studies of Mozart's church style and compositional workmanship. The influence of Handel and Bach manifested in his final years, particularly in the "Requiem" fragment, is taken into account in those sections requiring completion or fresh composition.
At two points readers may choose between alternative movements (or sections), since proceeding from Sussmayr's historical version, two divergent options cannot be weighed against each other but each one may well reflect Mozart's intentions: the "Lacrimosa" may end with or without "Amen" fugue, and the "Sanctus" may begin in the customary D major or in D minor. Above all, this makes it possible to retain the B-flat major "Hosanna" from Sussmayr's autograph, a movement which, until now, has not been appreciated as compositionally flawless.
Tried and tested on many occasions, e.g. at Harvard University, the Rheingau Music Festival, the Monadnock Music Festival (New Hampshire), in Salt Lake City (Utah), as well as in radio broadcasts (NDR, SWR, WDR) and a CD recording with Concerto Cologne, Chorwerk Ruhr and Florian Helgath (awarded "Le Disque classique du jour" by francemusique.fr and nominated for Opus Klassik 2021 in the categories "Ensemble", "Choral Recording" and "Editorial Achievement"). | | BA 11310-65 | Wind set | EUR 42.95 | Minimum order quantity: 1 copy |

| Ostrzyga, Michael | | Fact and Fiction – Mozart’s Requiem | An Introduction
| | DBA01088-01 | EUR 8.50 | Digital file (PDF) | (German/English), 225 Pages
The first part of this introduction deals extensively with the history and reception of the Requiem. This is followed by an in-depth documentation of Ostrzyga's Requiem Edition. In addition, this introduction represents the first comprehensive analytical study of the Requiem based on historically informed music theory and artistic practice (especially in composition, instrumentation, and arrangement). It clears up numerous prejudices against Sußmayr's work, which are also widespread in the scholarship literature, and also discusses problems of previous attempts at finishing or arranging the Requiem. | | |
