"And Now For Something Completely Different" (#275)


This piece was regarded by the Vatican as one of the most "holy", or rather most "useful", musical pieces they possessed in their library. 

 So much so that centuries they guarded the piece and did not allow anyone to copy the manuscript. 

 They where not prepared, however, for a special visit in 1770 from a 14 year old named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard, who, on a trip to Rome with his father, heard the piece twice and transcribed it faithfully from memory thus creating the first known unauthorised copy!
