Time and again, fragments of compositions—even by the great masters—are discovered and then completed. Dresden can look forward to a new Mozart soon.

The Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival continues to break new ground. The festival announced that this August’s edition will even feature the Dresden premiere of a work by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Only the first movement of Mozart’s Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra in F Major (KV 293) had survived as a fragment. Oboist and composer Gotthard Odermatt has completed it. On August 22, Albrecht Mayer will perform the work at the Kulturpalast in Dresden with the Moritzburg Festival Orchestra. The orchestra’s principal conductor, Josep Caballé Domenech, will be at the podium.
