A recent concert in Austria saw a 200-year-old Mozart piece performed for the first time when it too was discovered by an archivist under similar circumstances.
Lost Bach Pieces Performed for First Time in 320 Years: 'Great moment for the world of music' [12/08/2025]

"It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years." -- Tom Lehrer

[Brave search AI summary] A previously unknown composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a 12-minute string trio in C major for two violins and a bass, was discovered in the Leipzig Municipal Libraries in Germany. The manuscript, dated around 1780, is a copy of the original composition attributed to "Wolfgang Mozart" and lacks the middle name "Amadeus," suggesting it was written before 1769, when Mozart began including it in his signatures. Researchers believe the piece was composed in the mid- to late-1760s, likely when Mozart was between 10 and 13 years old. It has been cataloged as KV 648 and is known as "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" or "Serenate ex C," a title referencing Mozart's more famous "Eine kleine Nachtmusik". The discovery was made during the compilation of a new edition of the Köchel catalogue, which indexes Mozart's works. The piece was first performed in Salzburg on September 19, 2024, and made its German premiere at the Leipzig Opera. Experts suggest the copy may have been preserved by Mozart's sister, who likely kept it as a memento. This discovery adds a significant work to Mozart's early repertoire, a period from which few chamber pieces have survived.

FYE, this is one of my faves: Sibelius Symphony #5

Nobody gets Sibelius like Alexander Gibson. Its climax is nothing short of an heroic triumph over adversity. The recording is poor, but it doesn't matter when one hears the way Gibson layers the voicing. His timing is impeccable.

It’s probably time to revisit one of my favorite classical channels on YT:

I'm not a huge fan of Mozart, I appreciate him for his compositional genius.

I prefer later composers like Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, who integrated more brass into their compositions.

And as a wind player, I find string players to be extremely arrogant.

Just my experience from 22 years of playing professionally.

That's great, but except for a few horns, it's all woodwinds.

Despite my screen name, I am a low brass specialist. And an auxiliary clarinet specialist.

I've been thinking of starting a GoFundMe so I can get a Bach bass trombone. There are several orchestras in the area.

The way that piece transitions from tragedy to hope starting at about 26:00 is just magical. I do hope you liked it. I just wish the YouTube recording was as good as the CD.

I’ve listened to that symphony by at least a half dozen conductors. Bernstein is frenetic. Von Karajan is ponderous... They just don’t get the tempo or the way horns ebb and flow with the strings while keeping each voice distinct the way Gibson does. It really taught me a lot about what a conductor can do to or for a written piece. One wonders to what degree it reflects the composer’s intent.
