Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was an Austrian composer of the Classical period, born in Salzburg, whose output of over 800 works spans virtually every genre of his time - symphonies, concertos, operas, chamber music and sacred choral works. A child prodigy who performed before European royalty at age six, he later settled in Vienna as one of the first composers to work as a freelance musician rather than under permanent court patronage. His operas Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Die Zauberflöte have never left the repertory since their premieres, and his unfinished Requiem in D minor (KV 626) remains among the most iconic works in Western music.
The long-awaited ninth edition of the Köchel catalogue (KV9), edited by Neal Zaslaw and published by Breitkopf & Härtel, was presented in Salzburg in September 2024, adding 95 newly identified Mozart works and extending the catalogue to K. 721.
Among the newly catalogued works is a previously unknown serenade in C major for two violins and bass (K. 648), believed to have been written by Mozart for his sister Nannerl before his 13th birthday, performed publicly for the first time at the catalogue launch.
The Mozarteum Foundation launched 'Köchel digital', a free online platform giving global access to the new thematic catalogue alongside recordings and background information on each work.
