One of the most recorded and performed religious works in the repertoire, this masterpiece of vocal composition, composed shortly before Mozart's death, majestically combines the voices of orchestra, chorus, and 4 soloists into a deeply moving, elegiac work of glowing intensity.

Amazon.com Review
The Requiem was Mozart's final work, composed during the illness--probably a form of rheumatic fever, and almost certainly not poisoning by Salieri or anyone else--that took his life on December 5, 1791. He had completed much of it, and sketched out most of the remainder; the score was finished by his friend and student Franz Xavier Süssmayr. This is a rich, moving work, notable for such exquisite moments as the "Lacrimosa," and displaying Mozart's grasp of vocal writing to the fullest. The Dover edition of the full orchestral score is, like almost all of their publications of this sort, a reprint of an out-of-copyright score. Because it does display all the orchestral parts, it won't be suitable for use by the average church organist, but it should prove very useful to singers and the general music lover.

Mozart's Requiem is brilliant!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Requiem in Full Score (Latin Edition) (Paperback)
I am a huge fan of Mozart's Requiem K626. This score is great for a Mozart's Requiem fan. But, as said in other reviews, it would be pretty useles to someone who can't read music. But it's great for someone who likes to follow along with the chorus. It even give information on what parts Mozart composed. Mozart is my favorite composer, and this is a great product.

This review is from: Requiem in Full Score (Latin Edition) (Paperback)
Print is extremely small, but clear enough to follow. Not the ideal score to perform with, but rehearsal is OK.

Mozart's most moving piece, faithfully reproduced,

This review is from: Requiem in Full Score (Latin Edition) (Paperback)
Mozart's Requiem is without a doubt his masterpiece, one can only imagine how it may have been had he a chance to finish it. This edition indicates which parts of the score were written by Mozart and which were by Sussmayer, his student. Any musician would agree that seeing the full score version of any piece can be insightful to the composers mood and thoughts when it was written., this in stark contrast to the popular trend among music publishers to condense an entire orchestral score into a keyboard/SATB layout.I reccommend this book for musicians who have at least an basic understanding of musical notation. The layperson would likely be unable to do much other than stare at the pages. But for anyone who can follow along, it's always fun to read along with a recording and notice new flurries and nuances every time!
