New Mozart piano music discovered

Two piano pieces have been identified as the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, experts in the Austrian city of Salzburg say. The compositions have long been in the possession of the International Mozarteum Foundation in the city, the organisation said. Mozart left more than 600 pieces of music before his death at 35.

Few details are being released until an official presentation in a week's time. In January, a piece by Mozart which had lain undiscovered in a French library for years, had its first performance. What great news from the Master.

The two-minute-long piece performed in public in January for the first time was played by violinist Daniel Cuiller before a small audience in Nantes, western France.

The sheet music had been found by staff at the city's library, and authenticated as the work of Mozart in September 2008.
