They were there the whole time - two newly-discovered works by the boy Mozart. They're in his father's handwriting, so they were ignored for years. But now that someone actually looked at them, it's clear they're not in the pedantic style of Mozart's father, they're the work of a much more adventurous mind. We'll hear the unveiling of these two newly discovered pieces by Mozart, from a concert (that was also a news conference) in Salzburg on Sunday.
