Description:
When Anton Theodor Count Colloredo-Mels and Wallsee was consecrated Archbishop of Olomouc in 1778, the Prince Archbishop left the choice of music to the Kapellmeister Leopold Mozart. The choice fell on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Missa in C" KV 259, composed in 1775/1776, which is also known as the "Organ Solo Mass" due to the solo participation of the organ in the "Benedictus". As the Kapellmeister considered the "Kyrie" to be too short and not solemn enough for the occasion, he replaced it with the "Kyrie" from the "Spaur Mass" K. 258. It cannot be ruled out that he also interfered with the instrumentation specified by his son and added two oboes.
The copyist of the part material did not use the autograph as a model, but a copy in which an unidentifiable hand - possibly Mozart's - had already made cuts to the "Benedictus". Copies of both the original and the abridged "Benedictus" have survived, so that they must have been made before and after the abridgement.
In his edition, Walter Senn presents the various forms of the work with regard to the sources and the history of its composition: The cuts in the "Benedictus" are indicated by "vi - de" and the oboe parts are included in the main text.
