Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ~ 250th Birthday

Attended a Mozart Birthday Concert. The first piece was a symphony by the eight-year-old prodigy. It contained the embryo of all that was to come. The pristine beauty and clarity as in his later themes, the joy and the magic. Mozart's music opens a drawer for us and there he presents us with music we somehow know but have never heard expressed. Every line of music keeps eliciting a "yes, that's it".

Hello Monk. Your Mozart piece was beautifully expressed: however I feel you should enter into the real spirit of Mozart and go and enjoy his wonderful music in Austria. live!! I have already experienced this once already this year and I intend to repeat the joys of his music again later in the year. However you do it, enjoy: there again, how could you not!!
