Has anyone posted this one already? Anyway I found this article last Friday pertaining to 2 Mozart works discovered by the International Mozarteum Foundation in Austria.

Here's the link for the full article:

Usually when they discover works of great composers it is some choral thing. It is interesting to see what they are.

JUst what kind of statement is that?! (in the article)  We've discovered an unknown work by mozart.  That's it.  Stop.  I would even tend to disbelieve statements like that.

I cannot believe these works are Wolfgang Mozart's.  It sounds to me much more that these are Leopold's, or someone else's.  It sounds to me too much like early Haydn and not enough like J.C. Bach, so style-wise I would not attribute these to W.A. Mozart at any age.
