Strep throat may have killed Mozart: study Reuters 08/17/2009 | Two Works Discovered Attributed to Mozart, Age 7 or 8DANIEL J. WAKIN The New York Times 08/02/2009 |
 The death of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the age of 35 may have been caused by complications stemming from strep throat, according to a Dutch study published on Monday. Since the composer's death in 1791, there have been various theories about the cause of his untimely end, from intentional poisoning, to rheumatic fever, to trichinosis, a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork. |  Since the 1760s the fragmentary works sat scrawled at the back of a music book used by Mozart’s sister to study keyboard. They were in the hand of their father, Leopold, but no composer’s name was attached. The International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg now says the two pieces were probably composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself, as a young boy. |
