Mozart: Allegro in D Major, K. 626b/16

Some info on the discovery of the work:

The manuscript, which features notation in Mozart’s hand on both sides, is thought to date from 1773. Instead of being preserved and passed on for enjoyment by the masses through history, like most of Mozart’s works, it seems to have got lost along the way.

Somehow, after passing from the estate of the composer’s youngest son into the collection owned by Austrian civil servant and amateur musician Aloys Fuchs, it was given away – maybe by mistake – and fell off the musical map.

It was owned by an antiquarian book and art dealer in Vienna in the 1880s, and brought to auction by 1899. Maybe they didn’t quite realise the Mozart magic they had. But the Köchel catalogue, which lists the composer’s works, started mentioning it around this time, even though the manuscript itself kept flying in and out of auction houses.

Fast forward around 90 years, and in 2018 the worn manuscript finally made the music community sit up as it should – because it was offered for sale to the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation by the family of the French-Dutch engineer who’d purchased it from a dealer in Paris way back in the late 1920s.

The Foundation’s staff soon confirmed that the unattributed piano piece was undeniably Mozartian, and it’s now safe and sound, and ready for its time in the spotlight. It will be published on the same day as the world premiere. (27/01/2021)
