Mozart 250
It's not only Mozart's birthday, it's Mozart's 250th birthday. Do you think they're going to remember yours?
Here's how we ought to say "Happy Birthday." No singing, just listening.
The composer himself, I am almost certain, would have been surprised that this is the piece by which I think we ought to remember him on this big day. It's the second movement of the String Trio, or Divertimento, in E-Flat, K 563, supposedly a party piece, but still the work that I put at the top of the list of Great Mozart Works. If listening isn't enough, you can always read.
Comments
At work, we are celebrating Mozart's birthday with a small party this afternoon.
We have already discussed and admitted we are all big nerds.

As the Emperor said, "Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. " Put me with old Joe.

Dear PPOQ,
In honor of your sainted mother, Maria, not to mention yours truly, you may not denigrate the Master.
Ever,
