Missa in D Nokki 19

Wanhal ?
Nokki 19
Weinmann deest

Authenticity: Possibly Authentic

Only one copy of this mass survives. The musical style is plausible, but the shaping of the piece, with run-on movements and few internal changes in tempo, key and time signature, is highly irregular. It cannot, however, be ruled entirely out that this was a stylistic experiment. The use of a retexted Credo for the Et resurrexit is also unusual for Wanhal, who instead normally rewrote the music when he wanted them to be based on the same music. However, this proceedure is known from the masses of his friend Dittersdorf (see MacIntyre1986).
