A music historian at the Austrian state archives, Paul Duncan, has completed the final component of an investigation into a lost Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) piece. It was determined the authentic Mozart manuscript originated from a Vienna-based copyist named Johannes Traeg and was written by Mozart when still a teen.
An obscure piano manuscript that had been ignored for centuries is now believed to have been authored by one of the world's most famous composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The sensational discovery was revealed by Austrian officials on Sept. 8, following an extensive investigation into the document.
The manuscript has been housed in an state archive since 2005 but was donated by a private collector to the Styrian Music Association in 1877.
