...fair city, a new plaque adorns a dingy, red brick house at 52 Upper Clanbrassil Street. It identifies the birthplace of someone who never lived and who, as long as there are readers, will never die: "Here in Joyce's imagination was born in May, 1866, Leopold Bloom-citizen, husband, father, wanderer, reincarnation of Ulysses." The Irish capital has changed in other small ways. A bronze bust of James Joyce stands in St. Stephen's Green, a small park near the city's center.

...years, all that was known of the work was the first 15 measures of the first-violin part, which Leopold had jotted down on the cover of another youthful Mozart symphony. Last year a complete set of parts in Leopold's handwriting was discovered among private papers in Bavaria and sold anonymously for an undisclosed sum to the Bavarian State Library, where the work was authenticated by Robert Minister, chief of the music collection. Says Minister: "When I recognized the handwriting of Leopold Mozart, I couldn't believe my eyes...
