In this period (19th century), there was nothing unusual in performing incomplete or fragmentary church works; for example, the uncompleted Requiem of Florian Leopold Gassmann, with additions from Joseph Krottendorfer as well as Father Joseph Kaintz, remained in the repertory of the Hofburg chapel well into the first half of the nineteenthh century.
