About this episode

On Friday, June 19th, the National Library of France announced the discovery of a 44-page notebook containing lessons and compositions written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The notebook, which belonged to one of the composer's pupils, yielded seven previously unknown works for flute and harp - a musical duo that is not well represented in classical music repertoires. Emi Ferguson, a flute player, composer, and host on WQXR discusses the significance of this discovery and what it may mean for musicians and the classical music world at large.
