If you like a discovered manuscript story, you should see "In the Hands of Dante", great movie.

This review doesn't spoil the movie https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jun/19/in-the-hand-of-...

Side note, imdb's per country rating histograms are mesmerizing https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1333644/ratings/ how different the Iranian ratings are vs the UK.

"It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years."

> the Duke failed to pay Mozart for his work

You stiffed Mozart!? A curse on your ghost!

Apparently this was an exercise book he made for a parisian tutee, who later fled the french revolution, leading to the confiscation of the notebook by the revolutionaries.

Turns out "technical debt" also applies to national archives.

I love his handwriting style. I wonder if it was the first draft or a copy [1]

I hope we get to hear his new/old music. That would be amazing

Let's hope it is more authentic than the Hitler Diaries[1]
