"He was under no external pressure to write this it was something he did for himself and shows he did have a real interest in theology," he said.

The fact, however, that he was writing this kind of music up until the end of his life implies he was doing it of his own volition, said Leisinger.

"Many sketches we find are the basic drafts of pieces we know, but this is one of the more rare specimens where Mozart, for whatever reason, didn't carry it through." "It's really important because a totally new piece by Mozart does not show up every year," said Leisinger.
