Mozart and Beethoven cause cross-border disharmony

15/08/2007

Two priceless leather-bound manuscripts are causing an international dispute.

The volumes contain original manuscripts of works by Mozart and Beethoven, the Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat Major and the Eighth Symphony respectively.

The works have been in Poland since World War II and are now kept in the Jagiellonian Library in Cracow and are kept at a constant temperature and displayed on velvet backdrops to preserve the leather bindings.

The German government has asked its Polish counterpart to send them to Berlin, but without success. They formerly belonged to the Prussian state library.
