Johann Baptist Wanhal
Missa in C Nokki 05 [Weinmann XIX:C11/12]
(Missa brevis festivalis)
Wanhal ?
Nokki 05
Weinmann XIX:C11
Weinmann XIX:C12
Authenticity: Probably Authentic
This work has survived in two copies attributed to
Wanhal, and with no known counterattributions. Whilst the shape of the
work is somewhat unusual, one also finds many traits typical of Wanhal
in the treatment of fugue and cadences, and the attribution is therefore
appears to be stronger than one might assume.
A Note on Weinmann
Alexander Weinmann did not have the opportunity to study
many of the sacred works by Wanhal in person, and often had to rely on
incipits alone. This was in particular the case for works stored in the
old East Bloc. For this reason he, listed the same mass as C11 and C12
in his catalogue, as one source only gave a violin incipit, the other
only vocal incipits.
