Thanks

Many people have contributed to this edition – sometimes without their knowledge – and I here can only mention a few of them. I am especially grateful to Ulrich Konrad for numerous pieces of advice and for sharing his enormous knowledge of Mozart’s creative process with me. I thank Thomas Synofzik and Jonathan Salzedo for support in questions of figuring. The experience and expertise about historical instruments of Concerto Köln and later Freiburger Barockorchester was both supportive and helpful. I am grateful to all the soloists, choral singers and instrumentalists who took part in performances. I thank Andrew Clark for putting the idea into my head and for seeing to the first performances, as well as Florian Helgath and CHORWERK RUHR for the performance at the Rheingau Musik Festival and the premiere recording.
