About This Item
Oxford, England; New York: Clarendon Press/ Oxford University Press, 1988. Hardcover. VG-/VG- (Ex-library with stamps and labels on spine, inside front and rear covers, ffep and block. Light shelfwear.). Navy cloth boards with gilt lettering; green illustrated dj, mylar cover; 227 pp; bw music illustrations. " This book is an intensive new study of the background to the Requiem and the music itself. Maunder, who after many years' research has recently completed a new edition of the Requiem that attempts to be more faithful to Mozart's original intentions, presents detailed arguments concerning the authenticity of the doubtful movements, the editorial decisions he faced in preparing the new edition, the settings by other composers that may have influenced Mozart, and the problems of performance practice. He concludes that Süssmayr probably did write the disputed movements, but may have used a now-lost Mozart sketch in composing the Agnus Dei. This fascinating new study of one of classical music's best-loved works will interest a wide range of music students and scholars, and general readers"-dust jacket.
