Mozart Pieces Debut

Two newly discovered pieces of music written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a child have been performed in the Austrian city of his birth, Salzburg. The piano pieces had long been in the archive of the International Mozarteum Foundation but only recently were they identified as compositions by Mozart. The music was played on Mozart's own piano at a house where he lived from 1773-1780, and which is now a museum.
