Three advertisements by Lorenz Lausch
Posted: Sat, 27 Jan 2024
Happy Mozart’s birthday! We have just added three new documents to our site, all advertisements by the Viennese music dealer and copyist Lorenz Lausch. One is a previously unknown advertisement on 22 Aug 1789 offering an arrangement for eight-part Harmonie by Johann Went of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, one week before the premiere of the first Viennese revival of the opera.
