Mozart in Verona, 1770
Today is W.A. Mozart’s birthday. Mozart remains unequaled in his output of compositions, from exquisite solo piano and chamber music to larger works including concertos, symphonies, oratorios and operas. Over six hundred pieces in just a 35 year life span. Even more amazing is that just to copy his music by hand would take an average human lifetime.
Part of the beauty and charm in his music is its lyricism and playability. However, true artistry is necessary to communicate it effectively.
Happy Birthday, Wolfie.
