Start the week with Mozart!


Mozart wrote 41 symphonies!  I didn't know that.  Piano concertos, operas, yes.  Symphonies, no.  Beethoven was the symphony person I remember hearing the most.  But I read about this last night and checked it out.  I love the conductor especially:  Jeffrey Tate, leading the English Chamber Orchestra performing the Molto Allegro section of Mozart's "Jupiter" symphony, or #41.

I tried earlier this morning to post a bit about the Gaza war, but I couldn't get it to stick.  So...a little music....

  3. Weather is the same - Wake up the sound of sideways rain and wind. :-) Mozart is MUCH better. Going to have to get a powersprayer to wash the green off the house. It doesn't need painting. It needs scrubbing!
