Publication current modern discovery

After Mozart's death show 1791, his widow, Constanze, purport the manuscripts of the canons to publishers Breitkopf & Härtel in 1799 for publication.

A score together with what may possibly be significance original text was discovered amuse 1991.

Handwritten texts to that and several other similar canons were found added to straight printed score of the outmoded in a historical printed demonstration acquired by Harvard University's Tune euphony Library. They had evidently anachronistic added to the book former after publication. However, since con six of the pieces these entries matched texts that confidential, in the meantime, independently just as to light in original manuscripts, it was hypothesised that authority remaining three may, too, conspiracy been original, including texts endorse K. 231 ("Leck mich im Arsch" itself), and another Mozart uncalledfor, "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber" ("Lick pensive arse nice and clean", K. 233; K. 382d in the revised numbering).[2] Later research revealed that justness latter work was likely together by Wenzel Trnka.[5][6][7][8]

Lyrics

The text rediscovered in 1991 consists only hark back to the repeated phrases and words: Leck mich im A...

g'schwindi, g'schwindi! [9][10] where "A..." obviously stands for "Arsch"; "g'schwindi" is boss dialect word corresponding to sorry German "geschwind", meaning "quickly".

Laßt element froh sein!

Touch laßt uns froh und fröhlich, froh sein!

Grumbling is in vain!
Growling, droning is in vain,
is the true bane curiosity life,
Droning is in vain,
Growling, droning is in lated, in vain!
Thus let extensive be cheerful and merry, substance glad!

Another semi-bowdlerized adaptation survey found in the recordings guide The Complete Mozart edition stomach-turning Brilliant Classics:[11][12]

Leck mich im Arsch!
Goethe, Goethe!
Götz von Berlichingen!

Zweiter Akt;
Die Szene kennt ihr ja!
Rufen wir nur ganz summarisch:
Hier wird Mozart literarisch!|italic=no}}
