Misericordias Domini d-Moll KV 222 (205a)

Since the two verifiable autographs of the offertory Misericordias Domini have been lost, for the present new critical edition Robert Münster was able to rely for the first time on the manuscript parts from the music of the Court of Munich which he discovered. These can be traced back to the material used for the first performance of the work in Munich in 1775 and hence they can also be traced back to the Munich autograph.
