1760s Mozart composition "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" discovered in Leipzig library.

A previously unknown composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, titled "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik," has been discovered in a Leipzig library. This seven-movement string trio, dating from the mid- to late-1760s, was found during the latest Koechel catalogue compilation. While the manuscript is believed to be a copy from about 1780 and not written by Mozart himself, the piece debuted in Salzburg and will have its German premiere at the Leipzig Opera.
