New Mozart Pieces Discovered, to be First Performed in Salzburg

Two never-before played pieces of music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are to be performed for the first time in his birth city of Salzburg, Austria.

The two scores are believed to have been composed before Mozart was 10 years old, and though were long in the International Mozarteum Foundation, were not identified as music written by Mozart until now.

The music will be performed at the Mozart's Residence museum, the house where he lived from 1773 to 1789.

Mozart was a child prodigy of classical music, who composed his first piece of music at age five and continued to write over 600 more known pieces of music before dying in 1791, at age 35. His repertoire includes piano concertos, chamber music, operas, and choral pieces.

This is not the first time music by Mozart has been found after his death. January 2009 marked the first performance of a formerly unknown Mozart piece that was discovered in a French library, where it had been for years.
