{ "item_title" : "Mozart's Requiem", "item_author" : [" Christoph Wolff", "Mary Whittal "], "item_description" : "Mozart's unfinished Requiem has long been cloaked in legend and mystery. Mozart undertook the commission for an Austrian nobleman, little knowing that he would end up writing a requiem for himself. Inevitably, the secrecy surrounding the anonymous commission, the circumstances of Mozart's death, the unfinished state of the work, and its completion under the direction of Mozart's widow, Constanze, have precipitated two centuries of romandc speculation and scholarly controversy. Christoph Wolff provides a critical introduction to the Requiem in its many facets. The book concludes with a complete edition of the work that is at the center of Wolff's study, the authentic score of the Requiem -- Mozart's fragment -- supplemented by crucial excerpts from Sussmayr's 1792 Requiem completion. Wolff's work is thoughtful and well documented, and serve(s) as a stimulus for further research. -- Bertil van Boer, Notes An excellent translation of an important addition to Mozart research.... Will undoubtedly generate controversy. -- J. Sickbert, Choice Fascinating... Wolff's accomplishment ... should be loudly applauded. -- Daniel Riepel, Austrian Studies Newsletter", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/52/021/389/0520213890_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "34.95", "online_price" : "34.95", "our_price" : "34.95", "club_price" : "34.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
