BACKGROUND OF MOZART's REQUIEM, K. 626
Mozart's untimely death in December 1791 left his Requiem unfinished.
Much debate has ensued trying to identify who contributed to its completion,
what passages are authentically by Mozart and which were added by others,
and how this monumental work should be performed today.
WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE - A very comprehensive site! It begins with an examination of the format and structure of the work, including the complete Latin texts. Then it explores the issues that arose after death.
Please take a look!
