The Great Art of our Mozarty Party

Something urgent from the Press and Impress Media Communications Staff


Whether you are a member of the press, a former empress, an artist with the ability to impress, or just an ordinary sort of personage with a new diary to start writing this weekend, we do hope you have received an urgent notification from one of our officials.  The person in question is known to announce our events with a somewhat inappropriate fanfare, possibly because he is usually unable to distinguish between the ethereal and the imperial.

The aforementioned official is sometimes known as the Sir Humphrey Appleby of musical composition.  We do hope you can tell the difference between a veneer, a Vermeer and a sneer, and between the ability to impress and the propensity to oppress.  You are probably able to distinguish between a Salieri, a salary and a stick of celery, but do you know how to identify celerity, celebrity, hospitality and hilarity?

Mr Pushkin, as you may be aware, has been responsible for spreading a few rumours about Mr Salieri.  These have caused all sorts of problems.  Mr Pushkin has requested a magic pumpkin to enable him to attend our New Year Enlightenment Party.  We may have sent you a bowl of magic fruit or a magic flute.

Sir Peter Shaffer and Mr Milos Forman have found Mr Pushkin's ideas to be quite useful in the development of their own careers, though this may be to the detriment of the Mozarty Party's global credibility to some extent, as well as that of serious wig makers, historians and continuity editors.  We at the Mozarty Party always  seek - and espouse - truth, beauty, understanding and magnificence in all our policy proposals and works of art.

Truth may be found in many places, as Gerard van Swieten and his son, Gottfried, frequently remind us.  Both gentleman visit us from time to time whilst on their way to enjoy the enlightened library, which is just down the corridor from here if you would like to browse its shelves yourself.  The library is quite like a very nice one in Vienna.

Mr Vermeer may or may not have deftly painted in his own studio in Delft. We are only aware that some lovely delftware is on display in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.  Do you know of any interesting and factual artistic interconnections, celebrations or party invitations?

Unfortunately, works of art have been used as political weapons on many occasions.  We, of course, would never use any art form as weaponry, even here in the material and ethereal metropolis of Adelaide.  Our main goal is to create world peace, even if we sometimes use a Yes, Minister strategy in order to be successful.

How will you respond to our party invitation? How do you usually respond to art?  How do you usually respond to official announcements?  We do hope, at least, that you will have more luck than Mr Pushkin in being able to distinguish between a duel and an artistic jewel.

Perhaps you would like to contact us in a twitterish or facebookerish manner, courteously, artistically and urgently.
