Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)


Today is the 214th anniversary of the death of the great Wolfgang Mozart. Not of being poisoned by a jealous rival or angry freemasons. The most likely cause of death was a chronic heart condition made worse by a nasty strain of rheumatic fever making its way through the poorer classes of Vienna at the time.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
