Book excerpt: "The idea of creating a counterfeit of a genuine Mozart manuscript is outrageous, but to attempt the forging of two such compositions for the purpose of a technical/musical swindle is an order of magnitude more aggressive. Yet that is exactly what Forger, a counterfeiting genius, and Librarian, an eighteenth century document specialist, decide to do, their motivation being a $20,000,000 price tag ... their choice of composition are the lost manuscripts of Mozart's clarinet concerto and his quintet for clarinet and strings." -- Book jacket.
