Watch the Performance of a Mozart Composition That Had Been Lost for Centuries

"Library researchers were compiling an edition of the Köchel catalog, a comprehensive archive of Mozart's work, when they stumbled across a mysterious bound manuscript containing a handwritten composition in brown ink."

"Composed in the mid-to-late 1760s, Serenade in C consists of seven miniature movements for a string trio (two violins and a bass)."

"According to researchers, it 'fits stylistically' the work of that period, 'when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and 13'; a few years later, he'd outgrown (or transcended) this style of chamber music entirely."
