Today is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart was an extraordinary musician, a child prodigy prodded by his father into early development both as a composer and performer. It is a day of celebration (indeed, this is a year of celebration of the composer) in his native (more or less) Austria. One can even read Mozart's diary, and hear excerpts of his music, on the British Library's website.
