Mozart's diary
January 12, 2006 1:36 AM Subscribe
Mozart's musical diary - kept between 1784 and 1791 - goes online today courtesy of the British Library. There is a helpful audio commentary if you can't decipher his handwriting, plus excerpts from some of his music. The same site also has works by artists and authors such as Jane Austen, Leonardo da Vinci and Lewis Carroll.
I heard this on the news this morning, very cool. Two brand new never heard before pieces are being made available today!

(I just hope we don't get too much of the Mozart-gasm that will go on all year, 2006 being his 250th birthday and all.)
(FWIW: on casual listening, I noticed a couple of small errors in the midi performances of the manuscripts--misreading of shorthand. Not to be snarky, but, well, you know...)
