Description of the work
Compared with a year earlier incurred the Coronation Mass, in whose shadow the work is wrongly, the Mass, K. 337 a stricter church musical- liturgical attitude, but a quite comparable ingenuity on.
The scarce, born Kyrie breaks away from the traditional, three-part conditional on the text. The formal tight Gloria is inspired by the sonata scheme that credo to the Ritornellprinzip. The Benedictus is a strict fugue, the only Salzburg in Mozart's fairs. With the Agnus Dei, an aria for solo soprano, the style of a poetic gracefulness, which goes well beyond the scope of a Missa brevis converts.
Fragmentary first Credo- setting and its completion
In Autograph can be found after the Gloria 136 measures long, up to the words "non erit finis " reaching setting. It is unknown why Mozart wrote this creed not, but on the next page a new composition began. It is variously cited in the text as a basic mistake: Mozart forgot the words "sub Pontius Pilate " set to music. Dr. Murl Sick Bert completed in the years 1989 and 2003, the fragment and brought it in 2006 at the Hardin - Simmons University for the performance.
