--Two unknown Mozart pieces discovered--
(The Telegraph, July 24, 2009)

The International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg has discovered two previously unknown compositions written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Department of Research at the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg has identified two works, which have long been in the possession of the Foundation, as compositions of the young Wolfgang Amade Mozart," the foundation said in a statement, without giving any more details.

The two pieces for piano are to presented to the press on August 2. They will be performed by clavichordist Florian Birsak on Mozart's own fortepiano at the family's old Salzburg residence.

The Mozarteum foundation aims to preserve the heritage and works left by the prodigy, conducting research as well as organising concerts.

Mozart, born in Salzburg in 1756, began composing at the age of five and went on to produce some of the most famous concertos, symphonies and operas of his time, until his death in 1791.

This latest score is not the only one to have resurfaced in recent years however.

Last September, a library in Nantes, in western France, unveiled a hitherto unknown music score by Mozart that had lain in its archive undiscovered for over a century. It was authenticated by the Mozarteum.

In 2006, a year filled with celebrations for the 250th anniversary of Austria's favourite son, another piano score extremely likely to be the work of young Wolfgang Amadeus was discovered in Salzburg.

In May of last year, experts also identified three mystery musical scores discovered at Poland's historic Jasna Gora Roman Catholic monastery in southern Poland, as possible Mozart creations.

A tip for all subscribers

Each time the music library is updated, a posting will be made detailing the new additions. This will only be done on the 'Downloads' page.

If you would like to be notified of all new additions, please go to the 'Downloads' page and subscribe separately from there.

The reason for the dual subscription setup is to give subscribers the flexibility to opt in/out of file addition notifications.

There are now 3,000+ files online representing 152 composers.

All done !!

All done! Phew!!! That was a load of work. ;) Now I will start filling in gaps.

I hope you will enjoy using this basic library. As it is now very late, I'm going to get some well deserved sleep . . .

Almost there !

I'm entering the final phase of the posting of the basic sheet music/score library. All the files have been uploaded to our file server and I am now in the midst of coding the files so they can be posted for download. In all we now have 2,458 files now online with probably another 800 - 900 to go.

This isn't the end of the library, though. I still have another 2 or 3 thousand scores that have never been cataloged and those will be added in the next stage. However, this second stage will take a wee bit longer. So every time you log in there should be new scores and sheet music to look through.

If there is a particular score you are looking for, please leave a request in the 'Requests' Forum and I will do my best to accomodate you. You can also review that forum to see if there is anything you can contribute.

On a personal note, I've been trying to take time out to practice my new MIDI wind controller, the Akai EWI USB. It's a lot of fun to play, but I have to get used to new fingering techniques. I'll be elaborating more on this aspect of my music making in the near future. But suffice it to say that this instrument will 'knock the socks off' any wind instrument player. Stay tuned!!

That's it for now. Keep on enjoying your music in whichever way your heart desires! ;)

New Additions in the Download Area

Stage 2 of the score library has been completed, comprising of composer names from 'A' to 'H'. In all there are 1,572 files of sheet music and scores representing 72 composers' works. Not bad for a start! ;)

I will now be moving on and adding new composers in smaller batches so that the library will be expanded on a more regular basis.

Do you have friends who are interested in Classical Music too? Please tell them about this site so we can get the word out. The more we are able to build a community here, the more rewarding it will be for all. Remember, Hemingway's Studio isn't just about downloading... it's more about sharing... uploading files as attachments in the online forum or even just sharing a URL to some files you found helpful.

So, don't be shy. Join in !

I'm very happy that you came to my site. Keep well...

'Till next time,
