Contrary to popular fiction (Peter Shaffer's fanciful play Amadeus), there is no particular mystery surrounding the commissioning of Mozart's Requiem. A Viennese musical dilettante who was fond of ordering up music from established composers and then passing (or trying to pass) it off as his own work originally commissioned it. There's more question about how much of it Mozart composed in full or left sketches for, and how much his colleague Franz Sussmayer--asked by Constanze Mozart to complete the work--wrote on his own. Sussmayer, unsurprisingly, claimed a great deal for himself; Constanze averred that her husband had virtually completed the piece before his death and simply left the detail work to be done by another. Many later musicians have been highly critical of Sussmayer's additions, and several other notable composers, including Benjamin Britten, have tried their hands at finishing up and filling in Mozart's musical ideas.
Readers can play musical detective and decide for themselves just what Sussmayer contributed to the work--and how well he did it--with the aid of this full orchestral score from Dover, part of its new series of pocket-sized scores that offer convenient size and affordable prices. As is customary with Dover, this is a reprint of an out-of-print original from another publisher (in this case Breitkopf & Hartel), so it does not contain the most up-to-date musical scholarship, nor does it offer much in the way of informative notes on the music. Despite that, it remains a very useful tool for students and music lovers alike. --Sarah Bryan Miller

I bought this score from Amazon and had to send it back as soon as it arrived. I had tried to find out more about it before purchasing it but couldn't find a description anywhere so I'm writing this review to help others in the same situation.
Firstly this is a score of Mozart's Requiem, surely one of the most beautiful and profound pieces of music there is. A fantastic piece of art by an amazing composer.
This particular score is part of the Dover Miniatures series and, believe me, these things are miniature! They seem barely larger than an A5 page and consequently the notes are absolutely tiny. I found it hard enough reading the Novello score of Requiem that my library stocked - and this is much harder. If your eyesight isn't absolutely spot on then give this one a miss.
And the other big problem with this score - I hadn't realised that it's the full score which means a line of music for each instrument and no separate piano score. The version I had previously used had SATB and the piano part - this had the strings and woodwind and brass and stuff like that so wasn't what I needed. If you need to buy a score of Requiem as you're playing it in a concert then you're probably going to find this too small again. I suppose it's really aimed at those singing as they need less concentration on the notes once knowing them and the book is nice and small to hold during practises but I don't think it's suitable for musicians and, for a pianist like me, it was the wrong buy altogether.

Mozart's Requiem, is probably the most moving work in the history of music. This score is very simple because it is unabridged. This score also contains the intrumentation, the movements, and the parts in which Sussymar (the person who completed the requiem) and the score is very good. I would rate this about 3 out of the requiem scores I have seen.

Mission Accomplished
10. November 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This product is exactly what it says it is: the complete score to the most commonly performed version of Mozart's Requiem, the one finished by his pupil, Franz Xaver Sussmayr. My favorite thing about this score is that it includes notes on who wrote what! We're not positive who did how much precisely, but these sound to me reasonably accurate.
Unbelievable writing, this piece.
Includes translation of Latin.

Too small to use

Too small to use/read, compounded by the fact the print paper is low quality, as is the printing itself.
Really, Amazon should not be selling this.
