After more than 200 years, one of Mozart’s autograph manuscripts returns to Salzburg

Monday, July 27, 2015

This announcement has reached us from Armin Brinzing, director of the Bibliotheca Mozartiana at the Mozarteum in Salzburg:

Thanks to the generous support of a private donor, the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation has been able to acquire an extensive autograph manuscript by Mozart. The manuscript is a copy of a work by Eugenio di Ligniville in the hands of Wolfgang and Leopold Mozart, which was in a private collection until now. The original autograph will be on display in the Mozart Residence during the Salzburg Festival.

For more information, please see the Mozarteum website.
