Re: [F_MINOR] Wachet auf!

Yes, I love Mozart, within his limits (and mine), but have always
been very happy that Gould upheld my instinctive feeling that Haydn
was a greater composer.

On the other hand Glenn had it wrong about Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff and Chopin.

Doesn't ANYBODY have ANYTHING to say about Mozart's 250th Birthday?

Mozart was the first Glenn Gould I ever listened to -- my Conversion
on the Road to Damascus dates to 1971 -- and it made me both a
fanatical GG AND a fanatical Mozart fan to this day.

It's very lonely being a Mozart-lover among this bunch. Even Glenn
claims to be against me. (But if you listen to him humming as he
plays the sonatas ... listen to a Man in Ecstacy.)

But I sincerely believe this is going to be a Wonderful Year for the
Soul and Spirit of Planet Earth, coming as it does in the midst of
such  Bad Times. Before we begin the critical arguing, I wish every
one of you many wonderful live Mozart concert experiences in the year ahead.

My screwy little Mozart Birthday Card, I hope it brings you some pleasure:
