On the basis of this vague information, musicologist Alfred Einstein assigned the piece the number App. 109g\/16 in the third edition of the so-called Koechel catalogue, which finally became K. 626b\/16 in the sixth edition. A music-loving engineer bought the autograph manuscript in an antiquarian bookstore in Paris in the late 1920s; his descendants kept it in the\u00a0 Netherlands for 90 years. When the manuscript was offered to the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation it became immediately evident that it was not merely a sketch, but a complete work for piano in Mozart\u2019s own handwriting, a piece unrelated to all known compositions. Finds of this kind have become extremely rare; the last comparable case was the rediscovery of the Allegro in F major for piano, K. 33B in 1937.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although short, I think the work is ingenius. It&#8217;s quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that&#8217;s all. Just cut a few and it&#8217;ll be perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short but previously lost piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was recently performed just last week on January 27th, Mozart&#8217;s 265th birthday.
