Mozart's Birthday, 250 Years Old

As I am working on my Norway piece for GoNOMAD in my office I have Mozart playing in the background. Smooth and relaxing and ageless, all from a guy born 250 years ago. This year is Mozart’s year in Austria and celebrations will be going on all year. I wasn’t always a classical music fan, more Greatful Dead in college than Bach but I have really started to appreciate the sound.

I picked up the book Mozart’s Women: His Family, His Friends, and His Music this weekend. Just began it but I am already loving the words and story by Jane Glover. NPR also has a great site on the man. I have to wonder who will be celebrated 250 years from today that is currently crafting tunes.
