最近，德国莱比锡市立图书馆发现了一首前所未闻的音乐作品，推测为莫扎特在青少年时期创作。

A 12-minute piece of music composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been discovered in a library in Germany. Researchers think the composer wrote the previously unknown piece — called Serenade in C — when he was a young teenager.

德国一图书馆发现一首沃尔夫冈·阿玛多伊斯·莫扎特创作的作品，时长约12分钟。研究人员认为，莫扎特在少年时期创作了该作品《C大调小夜曲》，此前从未被发现过。

The composition was hidden in the collections of Germany’s Leipzig Municipal Libraries — some 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. By the age of 5, he was a child prodigy who toured Europe performing for royals and aristocrats (贵族). As a teenager, he built a reputation as a composer, spending a few years in Salzburg and Vienna before moving to Italy in 1769.

该作品被藏在德国莱比锡市立图书馆的藏品中，莱比锡位于奥地利萨尔茨堡以北约280英里处，莫扎特于1756年出生于此。到5岁时，莫扎特就已是一个神童，在欧洲巡回演出，为皇室和贵族表演。十几岁时，他就以作曲家的身份赢得了声誉，在萨尔茨堡和维也纳待了几年后，他于1769年移居意大利。

Mozart probably wrote the recently discovered composition in the mid- to late-1760s, according to a statement from the Leipzig Municipal Libraries. Library researchers were producing an edition of the Köchel catalog, a comprehensive collection of Mozart’s work, when they unexpectedly found a mysterious manuscript containing a handwritten composition in brown ink. The composition is believed to “Wolfgang Mozart.” The handwriting, however, is not Mozart’s, suggesting that the manuscript is a copy of the original composition. Researchers think it was made around 1780.

根据莱比锡市立图书馆的一份声明，莫扎特可能在1760年代中后期创作了这首最近发现的作品。图书馆研究人员正编纂最新版的科赫尔目录（《Köchel》是收录莫扎特音乐作品的权威档案），他们意外地发现了一份神秘的手稿，其中包含一篇棕色墨水手写的作品。这首作品被认为是“沃尔夫冈·莫扎特”的作品。然而，笔迹并非莫扎特本人的，这表明手稿是原作的复制品。研究人员认为它是1780年左右的抄本。

Serenade in C consists of seven miniature movements (微型乐章) for a string trio (two violins and a bass), according to a statement from the International Mozarteum Foundation, a Salzburg-based nonprofit dedicated to Mozart’s life and work. Researchers say the music fits with other works from the 1760s in style, when Mozart was between the ages of 10 and 13.

位于萨尔兹堡的非盈利组织国际莫扎特基金会致力于莫扎特生平与作品，该基金会的一份声明称，《C大调小夜曲》由弦乐三重奏的七个微型乐章组成。研究人员表示，这首作品在风格上与莫扎特1760年代的其他作品相吻合，当时莫扎特在10至13岁之间。

The newly discovered Serenade in C has been renamed Ganz kleine Nachtmusik in the Köchel catalog. On September 19, when the new catalog was revealed in Salzburg, a string trio played the rediscovered work. The composition was performed again for the audience at the Leipzig Opera on September 21.

在新版科赫尔目录中，新发现的《C大调小夜曲》已更名为Ganz kleine Nachtmusik。9月19日，当新目录在萨尔兹堡揭晓时，一个弦乐三重奏演奏了该作品。9月21日，该作品在莱比锡歌剧院再次上演。
