Mozart 250 (Post 1)

2006 is here, and after a year of anticipation, the celebration of the 250th aniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756-1791) birth is upon us. As stated this is “Post 1″ of what is likely to be many leading up to January 27th (Mozart’s birthday), and likely an entire year of Mozart Mania, all Mozart all the time.

I am not a Mozart fanboy by any stretch, in fact at one time I may have been somewhat dismissive of his music before I gave it fair play. Now that there is so much hype, perhaps more than there has been for any classical composer ever(?), this may be the chance for other dismissive types to get on board. So I can deal with a year of WAM overkill (and because I would be complaining if there was no hype).

Fair warning
