Hardbopjazz Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Over two hundred since his death and new works discovered. VIENNA (AFP) – The International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg announced Thursday that it had discovered two previously unknown compositions written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. "The Department of Research at the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg has identified two works, which have long been in the possession of the Foundation, as compositions of the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart," the foundation said in a statement, without giving any more details. The two pieces are to be performed on August 2 at a press presentation. The Mozarteum foundation aims to preserve the heritage and works left by the young prodigy, conducting research as well as organising concerts. Mozart, born in Salzburg in 1756, began composing at the age of five and went on to produce some of the most famous concertos, symphonies and operas of his time, until his death in 1791.
