Mozart’s ‘Great Mass’ in C minor deserves performing venues allowing the work’s double-choir antiphony to have its proper spatial effect and an edition offering trumpets & timpani parts in the ‘Credo’, Mozart-style strings in the ‘Et incarnatus est’, and pairwise imitation and equal distribution of subject entries in its Sanctus reconstruction.
