One of just two surviving pages from a Mozart manuscript has been sold at an auction in London for £110,900. The folio, from the composer's draft for the Sinfonia Concertante, has set a new record for a single page of his work, which has stood since 1998. The item was purchased from Sotheby's by dealers based in London who were bidding on behalf of a private client. The violin, viola and orchestral work was composed in 1779, securing Mozart's standing as a great composer aged 23.
