Edited from the incomplete holograph in the Österreichisches Nationalbibliothek (Cod. 17.561) and the composer's 16-bar holograph sketch for the Amen fugue (Deutsche Staatsbibliothek, Berlin); the 2 movements by Süssmayr (Appendix) edited from the Neue Mozart Ausgabe, I/1, Abteilung 2/2 (Kassel : Bärenreiter, 1965).

"The Lacrymosa has been given a new continuation, which leads to a completion of Mozart's sixteen-bar autograph sketch of the Amen fugue ... following Mozart's instruction, the Kyrie fugue is repeated for the Cum sanctis; the traditional re-use of part of the Requiem aeternam for the Lux aeterna is then a natural corollary"--6th prelim. p.
