It’s not often that undiscovered music from one of history’s most important figures gets unearthed. But that’s just what happened in Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries, where a 12-minute piece of Mozart’s music was discovered.
The piece, known as Serenade in C, was written in the mid- to late-1760s, when Mozart was only 10-13 years of age.
Mozart died at just the age of 35, having written over 600 works in his short yet hugely impactful life.
Listen to an orchestra playing the piece of music for the first time in the video below.
“A previously unknown piece of music composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he was probably in his early teens has been uncovered at a library in Germany.
The piece dates to the mid to late 1760s and consists of seven miniature movements for a string trio lasting about 12 minutes”
