Mozart





Mozart would have been 250 years old last Friday the 27th. Austria, his birthplace, released this commemorative stamp to celebrate the event.

If you haven't been reading the news this month, a museum supposedly has his skull, which was unearthed by a man who remembered where he was buried in a communal grave (right, like I believe that). Hard to imagine the likes of him being bankrupt. Scientists last month tried testing the skull to see if it was really him by collecting dna. The study was inconclusive so the question remains, whether it is his skull.

Here is a German stamp bearing his image.


Even if you don't like classical music, I'll bet if you listened to it, you'd find much of his work enjoyable. Haven't you ever sang "Twinkle twinkle little star"? Don't get it stuck in your head now!!
