Up to now, Schuberts most popular "early mass" has often been performed with strings alone. The wind parts added to the autograph by Ferdinand Schubert at a later date were considered inauthentic. Today, over a century later, the set of parts written by Franz Schubert himself has been rediscovered in Klosterneuburg. It contains parts for trumpet and timpani which are thus clearly authorized by the composer. There is also a figured organ part, which guarantees that the continuo can now be realized without misinterpretation. "Eine hochst interessante Variante! Das ausfuhrliche Vorwort informiert genau uber die Entstehungsgeschichte des Werkes." (RB, Musica Sacra) "Es lohnt sich, dieses weitgehend unbekannte Werk einmal aufzufuhren." (Das Liebhaberorchester)
