| ==Publication and modern discovery== | |||
| Mozart died in 1791. His widow, ], sent the manuscripts of the canons to publishers ] in 1799, saying that they would need to be adapted for publication. The publisher changed the title and lyrics of this canon to the more acceptable—and saleable—"Laßt froh uns sein" ("Let us be glad!"), similar to the traditional German ], "]". | |||
| The original, ] manuscript was discovered in 1991 at ]'s music library. The previous summer, the library had acquired a 17-volume edition of Mozart works. Included in those volumes were nine original Mozart canons, of which six were signed by Mozart, including K231, and another Mozart work, "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber" ("]", K233; K382d in the revised numbering). All were presumed to be authentic.<ref>Kozinn, Allan. Three Naughty Mozart Texts Are Found. New York Times, March 2, 1991</ref>.
