Today is the date upon which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died. According to the entry on my calender, there are many possible causes that history has given for his death. Apparently, his doctors attributed the death to "heated military fever" which meant that they really didn't know why he died. There have been many causes attributed to his death with none given precedence over the others. I suppose we can feel comfortable in the fact that he is, in fact, dead. Not that I feel comfortable because he is dead. However, since he was born in 1756, I suppose it is expected that he would be dead. Nevertheless, his musical canon is extensive and any other pieces composed by him would be appreciated. Albeit, most such pieces would be questionable as to the identity of their composer. At least at this point.
Well, I guess we can be assured that he lived at one time, composed some music, and died. Perhaps that is all we can say about anybody. Not that everybody composes music. You can't say that about just anybody. And not everybody composed like Mozart.
A little night music, please?
