I have been overwhelming myself with some kewl downloads by Wolfgang Amadé Mozart.

Started with a file containing all his symphonies, then his piano works, now I moved on to his choral works...

Oh my, I am falling in love all over again.

I am so scared there is no end to what is out there by this man...

Wow...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Only after a certain period in his life. The "Amadeus" part was actually always meant as an in-joke. He signed most of his work with Wolfgang Amadé.
It was the Amadeus that stuck later on.

History always has a way of twisting itself in the eye of the beholder. Silly, that. Just like the fact that he buried in a pauper's grave and his body was lost.
Not that it really matters, I think. The real respect due is showed in the fact that the world still adores his music more than 200 years after his death. I always shudder at the thought of reburials because the legacy of a person shifts opinions of him.

No one calls him that...

I do. Stop whining.

Whining???

He's ok , but , frankly i prefer Beethoven and Mahler (not the vocal things)
Mozart's a little too joyful for my taste usually , although i can appreciate
his music at times

Dewrede said:

Beethoven and Bach are my next projects!

i like Bach too

You are all a bunch of Neanderthalers. The lot of you. Except that guy over there with the long hair, wearing black clothes. He rocks too.

And that man with the angry inch.

And that cheeky guy.

Fella's, you rock! But it is like talking to the walls.

Bach was my first love in the Classical genre (well, once I got past the more accessable Tchaikovsky & Rachmaninov). Then Beethoven. Mozart seemed like Beethoven light, but with enough listens he distinguises himself.

You're in luck when you fall in love with Mozart, because there's just so damn much music, even though he died young. He's the original Pac!

i thought this was about lil' Van Halen .....Wolfgang on the axe, but good still.
