It's time for yet another anniversary ...

No, not Ben Franklin's (Deo gratias!). Someone much more interesting: Mozart. His 250th takes place a week from Friday. Can anything more be said about him? Well, Richard Morrison thinks so. Read Play it again, Wolfgang.
BTW, I haven't read David Cairns's Mozart and His Operas, but I reviewed Cairns's splendid biography of Berlioz. So this new book is something to look forward to.

  2. Ben was from Boston! Like D.H. Lawrence, I admire Ben. I do not like him.
