AMANPOUR: And finally tonight, we imagine music hidden in time and shorthand. 19th century Hungarian composer Franz Liszt was known for his diverse and prolific works, but he had steered clear of opera with only one short composition ever taking the stage while another known as "Sardanapalus" was lost to the ages. Now 170 years later, it's being revealed.</s>AMANPOUR: It was fragmented and written in code in 1849. It was then entombed in a Weimar archive for almost two centuries before it Cambridge academic David Trippett found it and they spent two years analyzing the music to figure out Liszt cipher. Trippett said that he had to put himself inside the mind of the 19th century composer to understand the manuscript. Now the piece will meet his public for the first time ever. A ten minute scene will be presented at a BBC world singing competition this summer. And that's it for our program tonight. Remember, you can always listen to our podcast, see us online @Amanpour.com and follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks for watching and good-bye from London.
