[lbo-talk] Happy Birthday Mozart

[andie nachgeborenen]

Symphonies 40 and 41 have real depth, as do many of
the piano sonatas and some of the violin sonatas, I
can remember the numbers right now. Unlike most people
I really like Glenn Gould's deconstruction of the
piano sonatas -- sort of Mozart on speed. I like the
operas, all the way from The Magic Flute to Don
Giovanni.
