Makes you wonder how much of this kind of stuff it out there, waiting to be found.

This is cool.

Note that it was actually found in the archives, and if they had an archivist running the archives as opposed to a librarian, they probably would have known about this before now.

Full disclosure: My wife is an archivist.

Sadly, as is not uncommon, it appears that they had no one running the archives at all. There was not even a catalog of the holdings. I'm certain any archivist would shudder at the thought of what that manuscript had been subjected to. More than likely Mozart's work was found in a box in a basement somewhere.

I suspect you are correct and I am impressed that you didn't rise to my baiting of our board librarian.

When I saw the title, I was thinking more of a librarian on a hillside watching a football game in El Paso.
