Amid a field of geniuses (Bach, Beethoven etc. ~ though not all beginning with B!), 'young' Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart still towers high. He was a talented child and began composing when he was just 5 years old! Mozart went on to write more than 600 works - symphonies, concertos and operas - which are still recognized today as some of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. Sadly, Mozart died when he was just 35 years old. If he had lived longer, who knows what other delights he may have given us.

The suggestion is that this was a relatively light (but, as always, well-crafted) item to be played and enjoyed in the evening

This opera contains a very strange story and a lot of very beautiful music
|
... among which, what turned out to be the final three (and in particular, No.40 in G minor) are all-time classics

An interesting example of a powerful mind that is sometimes even beyond its own conscious control
|
The widely acknowledged 'completion' is by Sussmayr. Perhaps because of Mozart's genius and his tender age, there seem to be vast numbers of conspiracy theories surrounding this great and significant final work
