I shall not address all the amazing mistakes in this article and far be it from me to correct them. The hilarious mistranslation "A Salute[!] to the Recuperating Ophelia" alone is utterly priceless and should never be altered. An old article from 2007 by Agnes Selby, copied from the worst and most out-of-date literature, is actually being mistaken for a reliable source. Selby didn't even know when Storace's daughter was born and repeated the long debunked nonsense of "the unwanted child that was farmed out and died within a month." The "contemporary Vienna leaflets" have never been seen by anybody and the Wiener Zeitung never announced the publication of the cantata. From the horse's mouth (Mr. Leisinger, who by the way is not an employee of the Mozarteum University) we finally learn that "Salieri did not poison Mozart". The "possible world premiere" can only be meant as a joke, because a cantata cannot be performed with just a harpsichord. It is always funny to see how a Mozart discovery sends a lot of people into clueless frenzy.--Suessmayr~enwiki (talk) 08:29, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
