Items related to Mozart's "Requiem": Historical and Analytical...
This volume contains the authentic score of the "Requiem", supplemented by crucial fragments from Suessamayr's 1792 "Requiem" completion, plus a critical introduction to the work which attempts to untangle its genesis and structure. Christoph Wolff surveys Suessamayr's contribution, and provides a musical analysis of Mozart's composition, including contextual, structural and interpretative aspects. This is followed by an annotated collection of the principal literary documents (1791-1839) that illuminate the puzzling early history of the work.

From the Back Cover:
"'When was the score of the Requiem completed?' is a question that everyone has asked; . . .but Wolff goes on to ask: 'Where do the technical and stylistic premises for the Requiem lie, and to what extent could these be taken into account after Mozart's death?' This question is rich in implications, central to the uniqueness of the work, and virtually undiscussed in the Mozart literature."--Thomas Bauman, co-author of "Mozart's Operas
