Presenting a fresh interpretation of Mozart's Requiem, Simon P.
Keefe redresses a longstanding scholarly imbalance whereby narrow
consideration of the text of this famously incomplete work has
taken precedence over consideration of context in the widest sense.
Keefe details the reception of the Requiem legend in general
writings, fiction, theatre and film, as well as discussing
criticism, scholarship and performance. Evaluation of Mozart's work
on the Requiem turns attention to the autograph score, the document
in which myths and musical realities collide. Franz Xaver
Sussmayr's completion (1791-2) is also re-appraised and the
ideological underpinnings of modern completions assessed. Overall,
the book affirms that Mozart's Requiem, fascinating for interacting
musical, biographical, circumstantial and psychological reasons,
cannot be fully appreciated by studying only Mozart's activities.
Broad-ranging hermeneutic approaches to the work, moreover,
supersede traditionally limited discursive confines.
