STORYLINE:
A previously unknown musical work written in the hand of European composer Frederic Chopin has been found in a library in New York City.

The Morgan Library & Museum says the untitled piece represents the first “lost” manuscript of the 18th century Romantic era virtuoso discovered since 1930.

Robinson McClellan, the museum’s curator, says he stumbled across the work last May while going through a collection brought to the Manhattan museum years earlier.
