Piano lovers are a strange lot, and even symphonic works and operas that are not suitable for the piano are driven by the desire to play or listen to them on the piano. Arrangements of the complete requiem are not intended for choral accompaniment, and there are probably not many opportunities to perform them. Even so, there are many musicians who have arranged Mozart's Requiem. Among them, we have included Czerny's complete work (4-hand version), Liszt's "Confutatis, Lacrimosa," and Sigismond Thalberg's "Lacrimosa. None of the arrangements is intended for virtuoso players, but rather is a recreation of the music, but each musician's individuality comes through. Czerny is honest. He distributes the notes in the score as efficiently as possible to the four hands, and he gives room to emphasize the bass part. F. Liszt is just the Liszt. He reinterprets the ideas of the original while keeping the number of notes small, making it sound like Liszt, and in Lacrimosa, he makes changes that make one want to clap one's hands. The Thalberg is the ultimate in chic. No one could have arranged "The Day of Tears" more beautifully.
