K.143: A Recitative and Aria in the Shadows of Doubt
K.143 is a prime example of how Mozart scholarship has turned uncertainty into myth. With no definitive evidence of authorship, date, or purpose, this uninspired recitative and aria in G major likely originated elsewhere. Is it time to admit this is not Mozart’s work at all?
The Enigma of Mozart’s Symphony K.73
The Symphony in C Major K.73 has long puzzled Mozart scholars. Touted as a youthful work of prodigious talent, its origins are murky at best. The title “Symphony,” inscribed on the first page of the autograph, is devoid of the composer’s name, casting immediate doubt on its attribution to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Was this truly his work, or is the Symphony yet another victim of overzealous attribution?
