A previously unknown work by Johann Sebastian Bach has turned up in a crate of 18th-century birthday cards removed from a German library shortly before it was devastated by fire last year, researchers said Wednesday.

"Experts say the work for soprano and string or keyboard accompaniment...It is no major composition but an occasional work in the form of an exquisite and highly refined strophic aria"
-> Yay! At first I thought it was going to be yet another cantata. He only wrote a few hundred cantatas... I'm an avid Bach fan, but I prefer listening to his cello and keyboard works.

"Maul said the foundation would exhibit the score once copyright issued have been cleared up."
-> WTF?!? JS Bach died over 400 years ago. How can his works not be in the public domain?
