Commissioned by Price Esterhazy, the patron of his teacher Joseph
Haydn, Beethoven's first major choral mass with orchestral
accompaniment was generally dismissed as an inferior work by both
patron and audience at the first performance in Eisenstadt on 13
September 1807. Later audiences nevertheless came to appreciate
Beethoven's masterful contrapuntal writing, which are a precursor
to his towering Missa Solemnis composed 15 years later. This newly
engraved vocal score features a superb piano reduction by Carl
Reinecke and has been thoroughly edited and reviewed by Karel
Torvik. The A4 size is ideal for vocalists, choruses and rehearsal
pianists alike.
