Summary of This Score
The Landon-Fassung of Mozart's Requiem, established by the Mozart expert H. C. Robbins Landon, has established itself as a leading editorial solution for musicians wishing to perform this unfinished masterpiece in a historically credible form. Its essential contribution lies in the way the work is presented by approaching, as closely as possible, the completions made around 1791/92, while relying on a careful examination of the available sources.
Unlike a simple reissue of the most widely disseminated version, this edition is based on an approach that puts into perspective the different attempts related to the completion of the Requiem. Landon thus exploits the efforts of Mozart's three pupils - Süßmayr, Eybler, and Freystädtler - to propose a reading that favors historical coherence and musical relevance, without seeking to "reinvent" the work through contemporary-style additions.
In practice, this score is intended for conductors, choristers, and instrumentalists seeking a reliable version for the stage, respectful of late 18th-century tradition, and who wish to avoid both the sole "inherited" option and modern reconstructions. A particularly relevant choice for sacred music programs, demanding educational projects, or performances informed by musicology.
