Wow. I'm in Lacrymosa overdose stage. Have been listening to various piano renditions and Mozart's choral version. What an amazing piece. Passion. Pathos. Agony. Ecstasy. My God, Mozart was a driven man. Thanks Paul for your several clips and lessons.
The story of Lacrimosa in Requiem is very interesting. Mozart only left 8 bars written in his own hand, he must have passed on verbally to his student and friend Süssmayr as he was supposed to complete it. It turns out that after it, Mozart planned an fugue to the Requiem, which would close the first part of the work, before starting the Ofertorium, which opens the second part. Formally it would make a lot of sense, the first part of Requiem would end with an fugue, maybe a great one. He left some bars of this fugue written, but Süssmayr must not have had the courage to end the fugue, probably because he did not have enough skill to compose fugues, which requires a larger counterpoint domain. Then from the end of Lacrimosa he jumped straight to the Ofertorium. Searching RUclips finds this fugue completed by more recent composers. I'm not making this up, I took it from Christoph Wolff's book about Mozart's Requeim.
D-Gauss de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_(Mozart) Mozart sketched the first 8 bars, so to say the idea of „Lacrimosa“, Suessmayr made the instrumentation and completed the piece.
Paul, that was wonderful as usual. I just hope you are in a peaceful, harmonious place which fits your spirit, joy, and sensibilities. Good wishes to your beautiful family.
I love the history you give before the piece and I appreciate the time you put into annotating and cleaning up the sheet music. When I want to learn a piece your channel is always the first place I go to. Keep up the great work!
I'm Catholic I love the Lord. Really I liked to whatch this video, because I saw different great persons. Great video. Thank you Paul Barton for sharing.
Hi this is a very interesting version. Nice job of simplifying the look and content of the original! I'm currently arranging Lacrymosa for the accordion, and every version I see brings something new to the party. Best wishes!
Thanks for this! I was looking for a piano arrangement that wasn’t exceedingly easy, but not Liszt, either😂 My short, chubby fingers are not conducive to Liszt chords, I saw his arrangement & prefer how this one sounds, too.
Props to you for deciphering that score 😂 Which of these Lacrimosa piano versions did you enjoy playing the most? And if I may venture a personal remark, the brightly coloured shirt looks very nice against the piano!
I like to point out that the majority of this piece is a Süssmayr composition and not a Mozart one. The sketches for it end at: 2:19 after the first bar on the page.
The two 1/8 note ornamentation at the end of the Rallentando, which you have greyed out in your score and did not play, are quite important in my opinion, to make the transistion to the finale Mozart like. Hej uses this trick a Lot in his Requiem, and omitting it makes the transistion abrupt and un-Requiem like and even unusual for Mozart in general. Otherwise, you've kept enough in the score, to get even the refinement of the vocals, so overall, your rendition is Better, than most piano versions, which are too stripped down to only serve as choir rehersal accompaniment.
Wow! I've never heard that piece like that before. Wonderful. Ironic that a requiem has such a legacy of life. I'm the last person willing to praise Mozarts "genius" but I don't contradict when someone suggests there was a divine element in his skill and facility. He knew how to put notes on paper. Scandal statement - a modern parallel? Programmer.
I fell like do I were to play this in front of someone they would think I’m depressed or demonic. Does anyone else agree? Trying to figure out if I’m thinking right or am just to scared of people to judge me.

I'm on that stage right now. No complains.
Safe to say we love Paul for his energy, talent and his love of beautiful things. Thank you dear!
Великолепно! Божественно. Красиво. А какое исполнение! Моцарт - гений. Paul Barton - СПАСИБО!

Thanks Paul, I really liked your arrangement and I really appreciate the fact you made the sheet music free.
Mozart ultimate masterpiece
literally
This „ultimate masterpiece“ was composed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr, Mozart died before he could finish.
@@crazy_doc2816 wasn't composed by Sussmayer. It was finished. Much of it had already been written by mozart.
D-Gauss de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_(Mozart) Mozart sketched the first 8 bars, so to say the idea of „Lacrimosa“, Suessmayr made the instrumentation and completed the piece.
It's garbage, did Mozart have no concept of a melody, just sounds like piano practice, there is zero musicality in this whatsoever.
Paul, that was wonderful as usual. I just hope you are in a peaceful, harmonious place which fits your spirit, joy, and sensibilities. Good wishes to your beautiful family.
Le *Lacrymosa* de Mozart me bouleverse toujours autant et j'aime en retrouver les accents dans cet arrangement ! Merci beaucoup Paul Barton !!
Sehr ausdrucksvoll wiedergegeben. Besten Dank, Paul! Ich hatte es sehr genossen. Bravo!
I love the history you give before the piece and I appreciate the time you put into annotating and cleaning up the sheet music. When I want to learn a piece your channel is always the first place I go to. Keep up the great work!
I’m so glad this was recommended to me
Wow played so beautifully. Well done. And thank you

I really like this piece! Will definitely play
I'm Catholic I love the Lord. Really I liked to whatch this video, because I saw different great persons.
Great video. Thank you Paul Barton for sharing.

Thanks for this! I was looking for a piano arrangement that wasn’t exceedingly easy, but not Liszt, either😂 My short, chubby fingers are not conducive to Liszt chords, I saw his arrangement & prefer how this one sounds, too.
Omg ty
Props to you for deciphering that score 😂
Which of these Lacrimosa piano versions did you enjoy playing the most?
And if I may venture a personal remark, the brightly coloured shirt looks very nice against the piano!
Très beau version piano. Bravo !
Great timing! I just found this piece recently too lol

Nice sound
Lahavlevela vela kuvvete illa billah SUBHANALLAHİ vebihamidihi SUBHANALLAHi aziim sadakalhulazim amin 💕❤️
Is the full lesson on your patreon?
I still prefer the arrangement uploaded yesterday (I believe it was yesterday). However this one is also good.
I like to point out that the majority of this piece is a Süssmayr composition and not a Mozart one.
The sketches for it end at: 2:19 after the first bar on the page.
This arr is way better than Liszt one.
I really enjoy the Sudbin transcription but unfortunately it's nowhere to be found
First the Liszt transcription, then Thalberg, Klindworth... perhaps Saltykov next?

And why are you "the last person willing to praise Mozarts "genius""?
Hi Paul bro! How can I compose a song in D minor but with circle of fifths?
I fell like do I were to play this in front of someone they would think I’m depressed or demonic. Does anyone else agree? Trying to figure out if I’m thinking right or am just to scared of people to judge me.
I thought you were in prison for a minute there 🤔 😳
