Described as a reorchestration, but actually much more than that. Franz Beyer left the voice parts unchanged from the traditional Süssmayr version, but attempted to improve the rest of the texture and voice-leading. Though both Eulenburg (1971) and Kunzelmann (1979) editions are by Beyer, and are very similar, there are a few differences in detail. Kunzelmann edition offers clarinet parts as alternatives to basset horns.
