Extra Information
|
Mozartforum: "Manuscript--once thought autograph--in Prague University Library; Jahn reported at beginning of 1787 Mozart promised Count Pachta to write contredances and Count gave him writing material at table, Mozart wrote them on the spot; authenticity doubted in AMA and Nettl showed these are military marches and old Czech folk songs."
