Choralia
provides two editions of training
aids for the Requiem KV626 by
W.A. Mozart,
so as to best match the score edition used by the choir. Both the
editions are derived from the public domain edition #303-315 available
at CPDL. Then
Edition 1 is
checked against the edition published by Peters (Nr. 76), while
Edition 2 is checked against the edition published by Bärenreiter
(BA 4538). The vocal parts
of the two editions differ for the following details. Requiem Soprano,
measure 11: in Edition 1 the syllable “i” is on the third note
of
the measure (C sharp), while in Edition 2 it is on the second (D). Soprano,
measure 34: in Edition 1 the syllable “i” is on the last note of
the measure (B flat), while in Edition 2 it is on the last-but-one (C). Soprano, measure 38:
in Edition 1 the syllable “i” is on the last note of the measure (D),
while in Edition 2 it is on the last-but-one (E). Tenor, measure 36: in Edition 1 the syllable “i” is on the last note of the measure (C), while in Edition 2 it is on the last-but-one (D). Bass, measure 27 – 28:
in edition 1 there is a syllable “i” on the last note of measure 27
(C), a syllable “son” on the first note of measure 28 (B flat), and the
word “eleison” is repeated on measure 28 (“e” on the second note, “le”
on the fourth, “i” on the sixth, and “son” on the last); in
Edition 2 the syllable “le” is sung throughout measure 27 and until the
fifth note of measure 28 included, then “i” is placed on the sixth note
and “son” on the last note of measure 28. Bass, measure 35: in Edition 1 the syllable “i” is on last note of the measure (F), while in Edition 2 it is on the last-but-one (G).

the only note is F in Edition 1, while it is D in Edition 2. No difference.

the lyrics "-sis in ex-cel-" exist in Edition 1, while they are omitted
in Edition 2, where the syllable "cel-" of measure 19 is sung until the
syllable "-sis" of measure 25 (despite the presence of a 1/4 rest at
measure 21).

in Edition 1 the syllable “na” is on the last-but-one note (C), while
