The Carus critical new edition is the very first edition of the Grabmusik which is based on Mozart’s separate autographs for movements 1–6, and 7–8, respectively. The fact that the final movement also contains two horn parts which have never appeared in print is an absolutely sensational discovery. Now the work may be again performed using Mozart’s last, original instrumentation.
