A 44-page manuscript containing previously unknown compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been discovered in the National Library of France. The pieces, seven in total, were created in 1778 while Mozart was in Paris giving music lessons. The benefactor was a member of the aristocracy, for whom Mozart composed these works as instructional material. This discovery sheds new light on Mozart’s time in Paris and expands the known catalogue of his music. Researchers believe the manuscript was likely forgotten within the library’s extensive collection. The find is considered significant for musicologists and Mozart enthusiasts alike, offering a glimpse into the composer’s teaching methods and creative process during that period. Further analysis of the manuscript is planned to determine its full historical and musical importance.
