The Goldsbrough Orchestra
(Leader, Emanuel Hurwitz )
Conductor, Lawrence Leonard
Symphony in C....attributed to Mozart The Symphony in C was discovered in 1943 in Cremona. In the same volume were found two others by Pleyel and Wranitsky, both of whom were associates of Haydn. Perhaps because of this, the symphony to be heard this evening originally bore Haydn's name on the title-page, although this was altered later (still in an eighteenth-century hand) to ' del Signor Mozart.' Lawrence Leonard
