NMA score differs from 1878 score greatly, e.g. in the entry of three trombones at bar 5 in the former.

First published by Lotter of Augsburg? (Date not given by NMA) or by Böhm? May have been published ca.1822 by Novello in vocal score.

Breitkopf published ca.1815 a cantata ("Herr auf den wir schauen") using music extracted from this mass and other works by Mozart, arranged.
