Mozart Literally Dropping New Tracks: Manuscript Discovered

New Mozart Dropping Soon as Manuscripts Discovered
Sep 25 2024 Share

Over 230 years after his death, a new composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been discovered. The piece, dating back to the mid-to-late 1760s, was found in a Leipzig, Germany library. It consists of seven short movements designed for a string trio and runs for about 12 minutes. This remarkable find, dubbed “Ganz kleine Nachtmusik” (Very Little Night Music), highlights the genius of a young Mozart who was just beginning to demonstrate his prodigious talent.

The manuscript, believed to be a copy made around 1780, was uncovered by researchers working on the Köchel catalog, a comprehensive collection of Mozart’s works. The piece was performed for the first time in 260 years on September 19th in Salzburg, Austria, coinciding with the launch of the updated Köchel catalog. The German premiere is scheduled to take place at the Leipzig Opera soon. This discovery is significant, as it adds to the rich collection of Mozart’s chamber music, many of which were thought lost.

Activists Invite Public For Open Discussion On Abortion

Activists Invite Public For Open Discussion On Abortion
Sep 25 2024 Share

A group of pro-choice activists held an open conversation on abortion in Valletta, inviting the public to engage in dialogue on the topic.

They highlighted that more people now support the decriminalisation of abortion but stressed that continued discussions are necessary to challenge the stigma that still lingers in Maltese society.

The event provided an inclusive and welcoming environment where participants could voice their concerns.

The activists urged attendees to move beyond viewing abortion as a strictly black-and-white issue, encouraging empathy by considering each individual story.

To combat the silence surrounding abortion, activists are encouraging people to openly share their experiences. They noted that when personal stories remain untold, abortion is often seen as an uncommon event, despite the reality that more than one person in Malta seeks an abortion daily.

The reluctance to speak out, they argued, limits the potential for meaningful conversations that could foster greater empathy and understanding, especially among those who oppose abortion.

This comes ahead of the Malta Abortion Rights Rally set to take place this Saturday, 28th September at 5pm in Castille Square.
