CULTURE: Mozart's "Ode to Being Stuck Under a Desk For 250 Years"

One of Europes most celebrated concert houses has discovered what could very well be an unknown piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Using high-tech equipment and archival research, international experts are examining note sheets that bear his name to determine if they are authentic.

"Some things are for it and some against it," Otto Biba, archive director of the Society of Musical Friends of Vienna, was quoted by state television as saying.

The Musikverein, traditionally a showcase for classical performances, was not immediately available for comment. It did not say how the note sheets were discovered.

The experts hope to deliver their assessment by next year. Austria has designated 2006 as a year of festivities to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth.

Biba insisted the discovery had nothing to do with the upcoming celebrations.

"This is in no way a gag for Mozart year," Biba said.

I can't imagine what a gag for Mozart year would look like... Maybe dig him up, dress him in a sailor suit, and set him next to sleeping old ladies?

Well, if it was undiscovered, that might be because he didn't think it was ready for prime time.

Having said that, you have to figure that Mozart's "not ready for prime time" trumps pretty much everybody else's bullshit.

I think it is less likely that it was "hidden" because it wasn't ready for prime time, and more likely just lost. Or a fraud.

Mozart was big in his time, and he didn't really fuck up ever, so if it is authentic, it will not be his "worst ever". Even if he had written something bad, he likely would have destroyed it.

Falco was just one dude. And he died a few years ago. Way to have respect for a legend.

I'm just kidding. Falco isn't a legend.

A hex on my lands for not being up to date with german one hit wonders of the 80's.

2 hit wonders. Falco did 'Der Kommisar' (sp.?) as well, and if ya dont remember THAT tune..oh wait.. you were, like, 3 years old.
Forget it.

Falco wrote 'Der Kommisar'

And if that doesnt convince you, maybe this will.

Not to detract from Mozart, but .. Falco's was the original.
Nice try, though!

I stand corrected.

I thought the thread about toothbrushes was signalling the end of the internet.
I was wrong.
It was this serious discussion about Falco.
The internet is over.

That's o.k. Cause the best version of Der Kommisar was Trent Reznor singing it in his old band Option 30.

Be great if someone actually played it and it turned out to be a brilliantly orchestrated rendition of "Nevermind."
