In what may be the longest a song has remained an unidentified piece, take that, Eric Prydz!
If you’ve ever pondered, “I wish I could experience new Classical music,” you’re in for a treat. In an incredible twist, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has released a new composition—more than 200 years after his illustrious career.
Recently, libraries in Leipzig, Germany, unveiled the finding of a previously undiscovered work by the legendary composer. This remarkable piece was located in Leipzig’s Municipal Library while researchers were compiling the latest edition of the Köchel catalogue for Mozart’s compositions.
The likelihood of uncovering new music was minimal, but it wasn’t impossible. This seven-movement piece, composed for string trio, is believed to have been created in the mid to late 1760s, during Mozart’s teenage years. It was found under the title Serenate ex C.
This 12-minute masterpiece has since been renamed Ganz kleine Nachtmusik and is being performed at Mozart’s birthplace in Salzburg. Enthusiastic audiences are lining up to witness this historic event.
