Mozart "Lacrymosa" moderate/easy piano + FREE sheet music

Seeing/hearing it played while reading the sheet music makes me appreciate Mozart’s innovative harmonic progression even more.

Mozart only wrote the first 8 measures: the remainder was composed by his pupil Franz Sussmayr after Mozart's death.

[@gsm2424]

No, this is the last piece written by Mozart, all the rest of The requiem from this one forward is a reconstruction.

[@thomasherzog86]

@@gsm2424 no he is right. only the first few bars were by mozart. basically the main theme until the cord progression. look it up.

[@m4tt1afm51]

@@thomasherzog86 In reality, the only pieces completed by Mozart were the Introitus and the Kyrie. Anyway he left some notes regarding the next pieces, on which Sussmayr based the composition.

Beautiful playing. I thank you for sharing the score, especially with the addition of your notations. As a relatively new player, I find that watching you play the piece whilst reading the score at the same time is most instructional

[@jackiesummers570]

Just sat at my piano and played that along with you Paul! I absolutely adore this piece of music. Couldn’t process the next chord quick enough when the sheet music changed each time, so had to guess, often got the harmony wrong. Wish I could play better by ear, but I’m very much a reader. Much love to you and your lovely family 😀❤️🎶xx

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to play this. I used to sing with a choral group and this was one of my favorites.

[@ClassicalJams]

Hi Paul. I just listened to your performances of the Liszt and Thalberg transcriptions! This is one of my favorite works of all time and I enjoyed your multiple posts showing how different the transcriptions really are. This is a very simple transcription and nice to see the notes on the screen and your various corrections. How nice of you to provide this to a pianist may want to play it without as much of a challenge, but still preserve the integrity of the music. Thanks again for your mastery, artistry, and the emotion you put into your performances!!! ~Jackie

Top-bar errors in corrected transcript by Paul Barton. In bar 11, a should be a-flat. In bar 18, first a should be a-flat. In bar 26, top c should be c-sharp. Otherwise, it is fine and I thank Paul for putting this up.

[@margaretminiere7318]

Thank you very much Paul for that lovely rendering of Mozart's "Lacrymosa". Also for the score, which I have just printed, which you have carefully annotated and corrected.

[@nicolassmith1278]

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today 😘😘🥰🥀???

[@AlcaAnimusiconPiano]

Beautiful playing. Even though it may be an easier arrangement, the simplicity of this transcription really lets the melody shine through. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to correct and annotate the score too, I'm thinking of recording this one myself.

[@VetsrisAuguste]

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.

Does anyone know what chord this would resolve to at the end? It doesn't sound complete

[@HealThyself333]

It's a plagal cadence, meaning the penultimate chord is iv, not the more typical V used in authentic cadences. Plagal cadences almost always sound less complete than authentic cadences.

Danke, thanks, Paul für die korrigierten Noten von Takt 26. Das war ja total falsch.

[@feufaiteric6310]

Thank you very much for the score and keyboard view... After having a look at this score, I think I have a clue to explain why Mozart did pass away at bar 8... My explanation: have a look at last chord of bar 7: Fm# 7/5d (Mozart saw the Devil ;-)

[@feufaiteric6310]

But Mozart's pupil didn't see it (he ended the requiem with "the Light", i.e "D major tonality")

[@feufaiteric6310]

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...

[@Butterfly-ln8zl]
