Post by: Foxy Brown on September 01, 2006, 08:32:45 AM

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. (http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/entertainment/gossip/15406749.htm)

"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?
