Mozart piano composition uncovered in Austria (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

A previously unknown piece by Mozart, believed to have been written when he was as young as 10, has been uncovered in Austria.

The piece, thought to have been composed in 1767 or 1768, was found in a notebook in an attic.

Researchers recently determined there was strong evidence Allegro Molto is a Mozart composition.

It was transcribed into a notebook bearing the name Del Signore Giovane Wolfgango Mozart.

Although the music was not written in the hand of Mozart or his father Leopold, historians at Salzburg's Mozarteum foundation strongly believe it is by the burgeoning composer.

1. Interesting news

It does sound like some of Mozart's childhood works from the so-called "Nannerl Notenbuch". Not a fully matured style, but probably just a melody that he tossed off on the spot, as Mozart was well-known for in his day.
