Even more entertainingly, this appears to be an authentic Mozart piece.

This proves that my taste for classical music has not been in vain.

Well I'll be damned.
Being distrustful of wikipedia, I did some poking around in more authoritative sources. He wrote two songs about ass licking. Weird.

When I first read the article when I got home, I LOL'd and thought it was a prank that got onto the front page.
This morning, I looked more closely and realized that not only was it serious, it had copious and solid citations to back it up.
This article has opened up a door onto the classical world I'm a little ambivalent about. I'm now a touch worried that next they'll uncover Bach's felching canon in C sharp minor BWV 1238 or something.

LOL. But Mozart was notorious for this kind of crap - didn't you see Amadeus? If Bach was a felcher, something tells me history has forgotten it (thankfully).

I read the Letters of Mozart when I was an undergraduate, and just let me say this is not a surprise. Lots of comments about farts and the like. Mozart would love today's kid's movies.

oh lolz!
I'm not terribly suprised (I saw Amadeus) but this is great. My coworker snorted coffee out his nose reading it, FTW.
The Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis only goes up to 1120. Accordingly, if there ever /were/ a new Bach composition discovered, it'd be BWV 1121 (convenient since the BWV is grouped thematically, and we can all agree a drinking song about... whatever you guys were calling it... would likely be a one off oddity, and that's the last category). More likely, it'd find it's way into the Verzeichnis Anhang (catalogue appendix) after years of academic debate on whether the piece was a genuine Mozart, or merely a "composition in the school of Mozart".
For what it's worth, the accepted BWV hasn't changed since the early nineties. Like 1991 if I remember right. So don't hold your breath.
Anyways, as a former professional quartet member (you can make good money playing violin and harpsichord at weddings!), I have to assert that there is no such thing as "obscure classical music", only brides uncultured enough to request Pachelbell's Canon in D for their recessional.

Huh? Yes, Pachelbel sucks (esp. when you're a cellist), but how does that translate into there being no obscure classical music? There's TONS of obscure shit.

But you're only a music major. How does that qualify you to talk about music? I mean I think your theories on quantum mechanics and faster than light travel are the best I've ever heard, but I really think you should stick to your areas of expertise.
