Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus : Missa brevis in G major K. 140 (App. C 1.12)

If “serveral music lovers and music directors consider this Mass authentic and truly Mozartian” (the words of Sir Ludwig von Köchel), then we are also willing to accept it as such. With the publication of the charming “Pastoral Mass” K. 140, all of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s masses were now completely available from Breitkopf & Härtel. In addition to the standard features (piano reduction, organ part, choral score, completely purchasable orchestral material), this Mass has a special “extra”, namely a supplementary organ part, prepared from the sources, with which one can reconstruct the original performance circumstances in Salzburg (with two organs!) .
