Listen to Mozart's Newly Discovered Composition

As I mentioned last week, scholars in a library in Leipzig discovered a previously unknown piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It's a 12-minute composition made for a string trio.

A few days ago, the Jugendsinfonieorchester (Youth Symphony Orchestra) of Leipzig held a public performance of it. In the YouTube notes, you can see a breakdown of the seven movements of Ganz kleine Nachtmusik.

Could Mozart win a Grammy for this work? There's online speculation on the subject. I don't see anything in the official rules for the Grammy awards that would restrict the maestro from securing a trophy even though he's dead.
