A twelve minute composition in seven movements has been dubbed “Very Little Night Music” and added to the catalogue of Mozart’s work, it is now KV 648. Scholars believe it was a work of Mozart’s youth, maybe as young as ten years old. There are very few chamber works from Mozart’s youth that survived, even though Leopold Mozart made a list of compositions. Today we’ll hear a work that was lost, and recently found in a Library in Leipzeig. An article in Gizmodo has more details. I also asked Andy Kohn to speak about instrumentation in the time period.
