Rewriting Mozart
A Revealing New Interview on His Thematic Catalogue
Introduction
Welcome to MozartrazoM, your source for in-depth research and fresh perspectives on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We’re excited to present a brand-new interview that challenges many of the long-held assumptions about Mozart’s Thematic Catalogue (1784–1791). Conducted by Swedish journalist Henry Grynnsten, this conversation delves into groundbreaking forensic techniques—like advanced ink analysis and digital image processing—that may change the way we view Mozart’s late works.
"The fact is, once you start examining the Catalogue with modern tools, multiple authors become an extremely plausible reality. We see inconsistencies in the formation of musical clefs, discrepancies in the inks, and even vocabulary usage that doesn’t match Mozart’s letters."
