Thanks to those who sent email on how they remembered Mozart’s 251st birthday, in particular, the music they opted to listen.
Susi from Germany, writer on Baesle (Marianne Mozart), Mozart’s first cousin, listened to a bunch of the wunderkind’s best piano concertos.
Incidentally, Steph Cowell, author of Marrying Mozart was also listening to some violin sonatas, like me. http://marryingmozart.com/
Another friend in the US opted to watch some opera videos especially The Magic Flute.

The Magic Flute has captivated me recently. I began to listen to it in anticipation of the new Kenneth Branagh film due out this year. I just didn’t really quite how magical the music was. I have Karl Bohm’s recording in my car, constantly. The recording has the spoken parts in too so I can practice my German at the same time

That’s fantastic Liz. Aside from my CDs, I have an old video of Die Zauberfote, Italian casting but with sub-titles.
Enjoy your German lessons.
