Happy Birthday W. A. Mozart.

For one who gave us such a wealth of music how sad your end was.

Gone, but NOT FORGOTTEN

There's Mozart up there, and the rest down here, as far as I'm concerned. A day without some Mozart is a lost day.

Happy Birthday W. A. Mozart.

I think we're all still hungover from last year's birthday bash.

[french frank]

I think we're all still hungover from last year's birthday bash.

Though it came before his birthday and was no particular anniversary.

Yes, today is the feast of St John Chrysostom, and the 256th birthday of "Joannes Chrysostomus Sigismundus Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart" [Anderson p. 351]. Much gratitude!

[Stunsworth]

I was born 200 years, plus a week and a bit after him.

[Chris Newman]

And Michael Collins is 50 today. Happy Birthday. Young Musician of the Year seems like yesterday!

[MrGongGong]

And me
so its me and Wolfgang, Michael, Nick Mason,and John Sodding Humphrys on radio four going on about Holocaust memorial day !!!
(don't get me wrong I think it's vitally important but there's a little voice in my head going "no no no it's MY birthday .............. my son suggested that he went back in time to persuade the Red Army to get on with it a bit faster ! )

And me

Many Happy Returns, Mr GG

[marthe]

Many happy returns to all the birthday boys! My late father always celebrated WAM's birthday because Mozart was his favorite composer. I can't think of Mozart without thinking of my dad.

And happy 75th birthday, John Ogdon, anyone? (or what would have been, if only...)

Just having a little fantasy about W.A. Mozart, 'Variations for piano on "Happy Birthday to You", K......'

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Just having a little fantasy about W.A. Mozart, 'Variations for piano on "Happy Birthday to You", K......'

Someone might have a go at this, though the original melody is still in copyright.

He's very important to many people. Not bad WAM, at 256 {EOE}

And happy 75th birthday, John Ogdon, anyone? (or what would have been, if only...)

I've been listening to a lot of John Ogdon's playing recently

Here he is, playing some Mozart and thus staying OT
