Mozart lost and found
The Guardian's obituary of Evelyn Barbirolli, the English oboist and widow of the conductor John Barbirolli, notes: "In 1948 she gave the first performance of the newly discovered Mozart Oboe Concerto at the Mozarteum in Salzburg." A little reminder of how many now-standard classical works were unknown not so long ago.
