Sheet music attributed to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been discovered in the Leipzig City Library. ‘Very Little Night Music’ will be heard for the first time in Germany this weekend.
A previously unknown work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been discovered in Leipzig. The 12-minute piece was premiered in the composer’s hometown as “Very Little Night Music.”
This work was discovered in the collection of the Leipzig City Library. It was discovered while working on a new edition of the Kochen Directory. This list was compiled by the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg and is considered a reference for Mozart’s musical works.
A manuscript titled “Serenate ex C” was found, written in dark brown ink on medium-sized white handmade paper. However, the copy is unsigned. It is estimated to have been made around 1780. The copy is probably not made by Mozart himself. However, experts suspect that the piece was composed in the mid-to-late 1760s and was composed by a world-famous composer. Mozart lived from 1756 to 1791. He was still in his teens when this was written.
German premiere At the Leipzig Opera
This work consists of seven miniature movements for string trio. In the new edition of the Kochen directory, it can be found under the number KV 648 as “Very Little Night Music”. Serenade No. 13 for strings, known as “Little Night Music”, is one of Mozart’s most famous works, published in 1787.
In Salzburg, Mozart’s birthplace, the “A Little Night Music” has already been performed to celebrate the release of the new version of the Cohen Directory. The work will be presented to the public for the first time in Germany on Saturday. The premiere will take place at the Leipzig Opera House at 5 p.m.
