Lost for 200 years, Mozart sonata resurfaces!

Lost for 200 years, the original handwritten score of Mozart’s Piano Sonata No.11 in A Major, K.331 mysteriously turns up in a Hungarian library.

Balazs Mikusi's heart started racing when he realised what the papers he held in his hand were: the long-lost original score of a famous Mozart sonata scribbled by the composer himself. "When I first laid eyes upon the manuscript, the handwriting already looked suspiciously 'Mozartish'," says Mikusi, head of the music collection at Budapest's National Szechenyi Library.
