Kyrie in E flat Major
Fragment, completed by Maximilian Stadler KV 322, 1778/79
Both of the Kyrie settings in E flat major K. 322 (1778/79) and C major K. 323 (probably not prior to 1790) belong to those works by Mozart which were only handed down as incomplete draft scores. However, in both cases Mozart’s original drafts were so extensive and well advanced that Abbé Maximilian Stadler, Mozart’s friend and known from the history associated with the Requiem, could complete both settings.

Compositeur
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
| 1756-1791As the son of the deputy Kapellmeister to the Salzburg Prince-Archbishop, Mozart was constantly surrounded by church music in his youth. On his travels Mozart became familiar with Italian church music, and later in Vienna he studied the works of Bach and Handel. After moving to Vienna he was faced with the new challenges of composing opera and piano concertos, and significantly the “C Minor Mass” KV 427, the greatest sacred work of the first Vienna years, remained unfinished. The last period of his life again shows a change of direction to church music: Mozart successfully applied to succeed the terminally ill Leopold Hoffmann as Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral, but he was unable to take up the position as he died before Hoffmann. A gem such as the “Ave verum” KV 618 and the incomplete Requiem KV 626 give us an idea of what Mozart might have achieved as a composer of sacred music if he had taken up this important position.

Critiques
Untitled Document
[...] Die vorliegende Ausgabe bietet sowohl die ursprüngliche wie Stadlers Textunterlegung, sodass das Werk sowohl in der Messe wie auch in einer feierlichen Vesper zur Osterzeit verwendet werden kann. In den beiden vorliegenden Partituren sind die Anteile Mozarts und Stadlers klar unterscheidbar und jeweils mit einem Kritischen Bericht ausgestattet.
