Description:
In the last summer of his life, Franz Schubert completed the Mass in E flat D 950. The reason for the composition of this Missa solemnis cannot be clarified with certainty. Schubert did not live to see the premiere of his Sixth Mass, but it was performed for the first time posthumously in 1829 under the direction of his brother Ferdinand.
In order to be able to represent Schubert's differentiated use of accents in the edition, a new symbol was introduced: an accent that is flexible in length. It makes it possible to visualize the duration of the emphasis precisely intended by the composition.
The present performance material is based on the volume (BA05576-01) of the New Schubert Edition published in 2022 and thus corresponds to the latest state of research.
