Happy Birthday, Mozart

You would be 256 today. Impressive.

I will celebrate today by listening to lots of symphonies and the Amadeus soundtrack.

Seriously I love Mozart's works - if I were stranded on a desert island, and all I had was a collection of his works (and a solar powered CD or MP3 player...) I would not go mad.

My favorite part of the movie smile.png

I'd have to agree. Watching him see and hear the music in his mind: wonderful.

I also like the deathbed scene just because the Requiem is totally badass.

Well, his worst work is Eine Kleine Nacht Musik. It is musical popcorn.

But the guy wrote 600-odd pieces of music, so he is allowed the odd bad one.

The most wierd one he composed was for glass harmonium. This was a mechanically driven set of rotating glasses tuned to different notes, and sounded by a keyboard linked to felt pads which pressed on the rim. Kind of like the thing we've all done of rubbing a finger around a part full wine glass. The guy who funded that piece clearly had bought this instrument from hell, and Mozart was commissioned to write something for it.

But I have no idea how you would write a list of his best pieces. The operas? The clarinet concerto and clarinet quintet? The requiem? I love everthing I've heard of his, with the exception of EKNM, which drives my nuts.

I like popcorn.

How'd it like it Mikey? I love that movie.

Still one of my top movies - watch about once a year

had a great effect on me back when I first saw it in the theater as a highschooler.
