New Mozart manuscript discovered in French library

A previously unknown manuscript by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, written when he was 22, has been discovered in the French National Library (BnF). The 44-page notebook contains musical exercises and compositions for flute and harp created between May and July 1778 while Mozart taught Marie-Louise-Philippine de Bonnieres de Guines, the daughter of the Duke of Guines. The manuscript was identified by curator Francois-Pierre Goy, who noted unique features such as specific clef markings matching Mozart's known style. The document was authenticated by the Mozarteum Foundation and traced back to a collection seized during the French Revolution. This discovery provides insight into Mozart's early career and his time in Paris, where little is known about his activities.
