Texts, Sources,
and the Relentless Search for Authenticity.
“In a world of bedtime stories, I bring footnotes.”
Discover all books, articles, and scientific papers by Luca Bianchini dedicated to Mozart: original research, manuscript forensics, and critical editions that challenge old legends.
No shortcuts, no fairy tales for grown-ups.
If you’re looking for easy answers, my books aren’t for you.
If you’re hungry for facts, sources, and a few uncomfortable questions… welcome.
“Goethe, Mozart and Mayr – Illuminati Brothers” & “Mozart in Italy”:
No saints, no bedtime stories. Only documents, journeys, unlikely encounters, and—of course—a few plot twists: truth in history is always more surprising than fiction.
Whether you’re seeking facts about Mozart’s music, or looking to question what you thought you knew, here you’ll find the sources and analysis that made international headlines.
“Mozart – The Construction of a Genius” & “Mozart – The Fall of the Gods”:
A genius isn’t born: he’s built, deconstructed, and—sometimes—put back together. Here you’ll find the backstage, the tricks, and the blunders no one ever dared to reveal.
(Spoiler: the truth usually hurts less than the myth.)

History is written by the winners—but real music is revived by those who dare to question.
Every recording here is a world premiere: new voices, uncomfortable truths, no shortcuts.
Forget safe bets and popular legends.
If you want convenience, try Spotify. If you want stories rescued from silence and archives—let's talk.
“Pacini – Medea” & “Zingarelli – The Three Hours of the Agony”:
Not your usual Italian opera CDs. Here you’ll find scores rescued from oblivion, with all their rough edges, unexpected beauty, and sometimes outrageous stories behind the notes.
“Mayr – Overtures” & “Mayr – Cantatas for Bass”:
The music everyone forgot—until we unearthed it, note by note. Don’t expect famous names, but rather the backstage of musical history, with all the courage (and madness) that comes with it.
“Cimarosa – Armida Immaginaria” & “Mayr – Verter”:
Two operas that break the mold. “Verter”, in particular, unveils the hidden meaning behind Mozart’s Magic Flute—Masonic codes, political allegories, and secrets that rewrite what we thought we knew about Mozart. For those ready to hear what official history kept under wraps.
“Mascagni – In Filanda” & “Paisiello – Zingari in Fiera”:
They said these operas were impossible to revive. They just needed the right detective—armed with stubbornness and curiosity (and a scanner).
“Mayr – Piano Concertos” & “Paisiello – Semiramide in villa”:
Rediscovered scores, dusted off and brought back to life. Not everything old is gold—but some treasures are hidden just under the surface.
Musicology is not for the faint of heart. The truth is rarely comfortable, and sometimes it comes with footnotes.
Legends are fun, but facts win. If you're allergic to uncomfortable questions, feel free to close this tab.
For everyone else: here are my latest skirmishes with myth and mainstream.
A forensic investigation published in the Journal of Forensic Document Examiners uncovers a posthumous fake attributed to Mozart.
