261st Birthday Anniversary of Mozart, 27 January 2017
Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart
(January 27, 1756 - December 5, 1791)
Inspired Pen Web joins all Mozart lovers worldwide in celebrating the 261st birthday anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, January 27. I'm particularly grateful to all my Facebook Mozart friends worldwide for all the continuous sharing of information. Many of these friends are musicians who perform and interpret the Maestro's music, musicologists, or long-time Mozart lovers who simply know a lot about the master's life and times.
Alongside all the many articles written about Mozart, including those found in this website (Inspired Pen Web), including my ever favourite DVD, "In Search of Mozart" produced/directed by Phil Grabsky in celebration of Mozart's 250th Anniversary, this year 2017, I've decided to feature a Mozart Documentary - The Man Behind The Great Symphony 40 - History Channel HD.

The picture is the famous birthplace of Wolfgang Mozart, at #9 Getreidegasse, Salzburg. The genius child prodigy was born on the third floor of this tall house, on January 27, 1756. At the time, it was owned by a family friend, one Johann Lorenz Hagenauer. The family lived here when they were not on tour, from 1747 to 1773. The place is regularly crowded with tourists from all over the world. We are not allowed to take pictures inside, but I had a most wonderful time chatting with the welcoming man in-charge of the place that day. (Photo taken: Tel Asiado, July, 2007)
