An original score of two minuets composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are to be put up for auction in Paris
Notes that were previously regarded as anonymous compositions and are now attributed by musicologists to almost certainly Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, presents on Sunday, August 2, 2009, the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg in Salzburg.
The asking price for the handwritten score dating from 1772 has been set at 150,000-200,000 euros , the auction house said."It's the only version," said Simon Maguire, a specialist in musical manuscripts at Sotheby's in London. The minuets -- which are types of dances -- have never been published and the autograph score contains a few corrections and minor modifications, including one or two that might be in the hand of Mozart's father, Leopold.
The score, the only one of the composer's "Six Minuets K.164" to still be in private hands, are being sold as part of the library of the eminent Swiss bibliophile, Jean-Francois Chaponniere.According to Sotheby's, "dancing itself too was a great passion of the composer, to such an extent that Constanze Mozart could remark... 'as great as Mozart's genius was, he was an enthusiast in dancing, and often said that his taste lay in that art, rather than in music'.
