he C major Mass after Così fan tutte is the result of a<br />
“parody practice” customary at that time, in which<br />
secular musical works were given sacred texts. In this<br />
case, an unknown editor took various numbers from<br />
Così and made them into a cantata mass in around<br />
����. This mass stands out from a whole series of<br />
similar surviving works because of its exceptional<br />
stylistic fidelity and clever editing. The work can<br />
be found in the archive of the abbey Rot a.d. Rot<br />
(today the Swabian State <strong>Music</strong> Archive, University<br />
of Tübingen). It was passed down from the hands of<br />
the last abbot Nikolaus Betscher.<br />
The German Mozart Orchestra was founded by<br />
Franz Raml in ����. It has specialized in the interpretation<br />
of works from Viennese Classicism on period<br />
instruments.
