  • There are a number of piano arrangements of Mozart's "Lacrimosa" (Lacrymosa) most notably by Liszt, Thalberg, Klindworth and Schonenberger. all available free from the IMSLP Music Library.
    There is also an easy-ish piano arrangement circulating available from musescore.com/.... Please note: I advise against purchasing this score as it has many mistakes (which you can hear from the midi-playback on that site). So, I've made you a corrected version (with apologies, by hand in red pencil) based on Mozart's original harmony and melody. This score is featured in this video for educational purposes and is free to download from my Google Drive: drive.google.c...

    While I find this arrangement very nice and easy to follow, I’m not a fan of that edit you made in the 14th measure. I understand how it imparts rhythmic continuity across the phrase, however, it also masks the dramatic impact of that particular climactic moment. In the choral arrangements we all know well, this is the moment where the sopranos, having reaching their highest pitch and their loudest volume, are suddenly replaced as the leading voices by the bass and tenor sections at a much softer volume. In the original choral arrangement, there is a very particular emotional dynamic created by the suddenness of that shift, similar to a collapsing parachute or a sail losing its wind. It is perhaps the best part of the work, which in this case is glazed over by this artistic choice.

    After having a look at this score, I think I have a clue to explain why Mozart did pass away at bar 8...

    • @feufaiteric6310
      @feufaiteric6310 3 роки тому

    • @feufaiteric6310
      @feufaiteric6310 3 роки тому

      Of course Mozart's pupil saw the "Devil" as well...
      He used this "Devil" all along his part of piece so as to keep on going with the initial "tension" that the Master initiated in bar 7 before to die in bar 8.
      For me, this is probably a major key that makes this piece sound so perfect as if only composed by Mozart.
      So why Did the pupil turn the global darkness of the piece into the final light of D major ?
      Either Mozart's pupil was a big fan of Bach,
      Or maybe that he had a philosophic approach of his loss of the Master and thought that:
      When a candle is blown out, then comes the pain (of darkness) but when the pain disapears then remains the memory of the light...

    Can I request Brahms fourth symphony, or the string quartet 1?

    In the bar where there is the rewritten left hand you played a first inversion A major chord on beat 3, the top C# the pinky plays is missing in the score. It's a C natural, just missed the sharp. As always a great performance.
