Missa Brevis No. 7 (Mozart)

The Missa brevis in C major, K. 258 " Piccolomini - Messe " is an exhibition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Mozart composed this fair in 1775 for four-part choir, soloists and orchestra. The resulting by resoundingly solemn character of the fair is highlighted by later added oboe voices on. Whereas the requirement of brevity comes to attention. Some of the features includes the highly compressed Schlussfugato the Gloria and the Credo in unison representing the Trinity. The Benedictus is in Allegro with full occupancy and vocal Doppelchörigkeit against the soft and worn tradition of this sentence. The Dona nobis pacem is integrated into the overall form of the Agnus Dei.

Occasionally bears the Missa brevis KV 258 the nickname " Piccolomini - Messe ", whose origin, however, is unclear. In the past, the show was also under the nickname " Spaur Mass " known. Leopold Mozart had mentioned on 28 May 1778 in a letter to Wolfgang Amadeus a fair that these 1776 on the occasion of the consecration of Ignaz von Spaur composed as Auxiliary Bishop of Brixen. In the Mozart research prevailed for a long period of uncertainty about what to plant, when this " Spaur Mass " just acted. Alfred Einstein gave the Mass, K. 258, nicknamed " Spaur Mass " without giving reasons for this in more detail. Newer research is unanimously believe that this is the Mass in C major KV 257 in the " Spaur Mass ". This had the musicologist Alan Tyson 1987 can make plausible by comparing the grade paper used by Mozart. This was confirmed in 2007 by the discovery of a set of parts in Brixen with handwritten entries by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Leopold.
