Mostly Mozart


I suppose he would approve: Some of Mozart's rarest work is now available online.

Mozart's 250th birthday (or the 250th anniversary of his birth, if you prefer) is coming up. It is a sobering thought, to misquote Tom Lehrer, that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for 14 years (well, 15 soon enough but let's not hurry on the summer).

It's also Freud's 150th birthday, but I'll let that slip for now. I'd say that was elementary.
