Ping!
Some of these discovery stories remind me of Peter Shickele's "discovery" of P.D.Q. Bach works.

Ahhh, Bach!!

From the article: "Maul said the foundation would exhibit the score once copyright issued have been cleared up."
They want the author to sign over the rights.
I've read that the great majority of Bach's work didn't survive long after his death.
His kids used a lot of his manuscripts for mulch.

Peter Schickele's work is the best musical joke of our time.

Very little music from anyone survived the composer in those days. I'm baffled how J.S. Bach wrote so much music. To even copy out of his complete corpus working a 40 hour work week would take about 70 years.

Using a figured bass helps.
But how did Liszt write so much?

Liszt had a coterie around him who helped him orchestrate (at least at first). Of course he had more free time then Bach and lived longer.

The lost work I most wish would be found is Prometheus Unbound by Havergal Brian. The BBC was entrusted with the manuscript and misplaced it. Guess ol' Havergal should have made a copy.

This will play right into the hands of PDQ Bach (a/k/a Peter Schickele). ;-)

My favorite PDQ Bach discovery story is the "Safe" Sextet, which, as it's name implies, was discovered left behind in a hotel safe that had been robbed.
