New Mozart works found....

Some people may have already heard about this, but I find it worth mentioning. Two compositions were found in Salzburg that are being attributed to Mozart. Apparently, these works were transcribed by Mozart's father Leopold because the Wolfgang was too young to write them down himself! The idea that there were undiscovered Mozart works give much hope to many Musicologists who have spent countless ours in dusty, dirty archives looking for works that the world has not heard before. Back to the archives my friends!
There are musical examples so you can decide for yourself:
