Composer 's appearance is shrouded in mystery, with most portraits of him painted long after his death.

In 1962 , musicologist Alfred Einstein wrote: 'No earthly remains of Mozart survived save a few wretched portraits, no two of which are alike' But now the face of the composer may be revealed at last, after a skull attributed to him was used to rebuild his likeness.

Cicero Moraes, an expert in the field of forensic facial reconstructions, said he learned of the skull by chance while engaged in another project.

Study found that listening to a minuet - a specific style of classical dance music - increased the ability of both young and elderly people to concentrate and complete a task.

Researchers from Harvard University took 25 boys, aged between eight and nine as well as 25 older people aged between ages 65 to 75 , and made them complete a version of a Stroop task.

Both age groups were able to identify the correct colours quicker and with less errors when listening to the original Mozart music.
