French library's Mozart find sets music world humming

Post by aldona »

A musical score on a small, yellowing scrap of paper found in a French library has been confirmed as a lost work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Read the story here:

“all great composers wrote music that could be described as ‘heavenly’; but others have to take you there. In Schubert’s music you hear the very first notes, and you know that you’re there already.” - Steven Isserlis
