A single sheet of music discovered in the archives at the Médiathèque library in Nantes in western France is a previously unknown piece by Mozart, the BBC reported. “His handwriting is absolutely clearly identifiable,” said Ulrich Leisinger, who is in charge of research at the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, which helped to authenticate the find. The 15-measure melody sketch dates to around 1787, according to a posting on the foundation’s Web site (mozarteum.at), and is part of a collection left to the city by Pierre-Antoine Labouchère (1807-73), a painter and citizen of Nantes.
