The piece, which dates to the mid- to late-1760s, consists of seven miniature movements for a string trio. It lasts around 12 minutes, researchers with the Leipzig Municipal Libraries said in a statement.
The newly discovered manuscript, which consists of dark brown ink on medium-white handmade paper, was not penned by Mozart himself but is believed to be a copy made around 1780, the researchers said.
The young Mozart had been known to researchers up until now “mainly as a composer of piano music, arias and symphonies”, Ulrich Leisinger of the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg said in a statement.
Born in 1756, Mozart was a child prodigy and began composing at a very early age under his father’s guidance.
The piece was performed by a string trio at the unveiling of the new Koechel catalog in the Austrian city of Salzburg on Thursday. It will receive its German premiere at the Leipzig Opera on Saturday.
