Forscher haben tief in den Mozart-Archiven der Leipziger Stadtbibliotheken eine bislang unbekannte Komposition mit dem Titel „Serenata ex C – Eine ganz kleine Nachtmusik genannt“ gefunden, die Mozart wahrscheinlich als junger Teenager geschrieben hat.
„It looks as if—thanks to a series of favorable circumstances—a complete string trio has survived in Leipzig,“ says Ulrich Leisinger, head of the International Mozarteum Foundation. „The source was evidently Mozart’s sister, and so it is tempting to think that she preserved the work as a memento of her brother. Perhaps he wrote the trio specially for her.“
