Unknown Mozart piece discovered in Leipzig
http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/71155

The manuscript is not in Mozart’s hand. It is a copy that was written around 1780 with dark brown ink on white handmade paper. It was then bound in a hard-cover volume. It is not signed, but the copyist attributed it to “Wolfgang Mozart.” The lack of his middle name suggests Mozart wrote the piece before 1769 (he began adding “Amadeo” to his autograph after his first visit to Italy in 1769).
