Happy Birthday (in a non-living sense) to one of the greatest composers that ever lived...

Looks Japanese in origin.

Motzart is the best. Beethoven a close second. Although being blind was a pretty tough hill to surmount.

Beethoven went deaf, not blind.

Maybe on his deathbed. You must be thinking of John Milton.

Beethoven's 5th symphony has been interpreted as the composer's acceptance of deafness as his fate.

Whole Austria is celebrating the "Mozart-Year", especially in Salzburg (his town of birth) and Vienna, where he composed most of his important works and where he also died 1792.

An interesting fact though: Mozart was not Austrian (as many Austrians claim), he was German.

Here in Vienna its a madness, the only remaining house where he lived just opened yesterday for a 2-day free visit, but the queues are enorme!!! I planned to get there but the estimated waiting time is about four hours...with - 10 °C, no thanks!

BTW... can you name 5 of his greates works? WITHOUT CHEATING of course? Wink
