CRAZY: Two New Mozart Pieces Discovered after 250 years

According to the BBC NEWS and as announced by the International Mozarteum Foundation, two previously unknown pieces by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart have been discovered.

August 2 marked the day when these two pieces of the Master Mozart was introduced as a performance to the world. Performed by clavichordist Florian Birsak, the first piece is probably the first movement of a harpsichord Concerto in G (marked molto allegro) – and the second is technically-demanding Prelude in G major.

Harvard professor Robert Levin describes them as “a bit crazy“.

Commentary: Crazier still is the fact that these works were even discovered! Can you imagine how many undiscovered gems like these have yet to surface? We can only hope that they will, in our lifetime! Here are other incredible musical ‘finds’ that have made it to life’s stage:
