Riassunto

Commissioned with an anonymous letter delivered by an unknown messenger, Mozart's Requiem has haunted audiences and fueled myths for centuries. Legends recount the composer's premonitions of his untimely death amid his feverish attempts to complete the Requiem. A work of emotional power and dark fury, it evokes the pathos and injustice of dying young. The sublime beauty of its form, an elevated and exalted style of sacred music, provides the ultimate voice to the composer's genius.
This affordable piano-vocal version of the Requiem is ideal for rehearsals and performances as well as following along with recordings. Reproduced from an authoritative edition, it includes full translations of the Latin text.

Product Description:

[English]

The Requiem was Mozart’s final composition. It was commissioned by the widow of the Countess von Walsegg who died in February 1791. After working on the Requiem through October and November, however, Mozart fell ill and died without completing it. Mozart's widow, needing money, asked Joseph Eybler to complete the work. Unfortunately, he could not finish the work, and it was handed over to Franz Xaver Sussmayr. However, Sussmayr was a musician of limited capabilities and much of his contribution was in fact a copy of Eybler's work.
