Mozart in Social Media

By W.A. Mozart

It's my birthday today.  It's happening on the same day as it did last year, and the year before that and the year before that, right back to 1756.

The day of my birth was really difficult for my mother, so I am told, though I can't remember all that much about the day itself.  Perhaps you know more about it than I do.

I've already been given some really great presents this year.


The greatest gift is that most of my music is still being played all over the world, which is more than can be said about composers of one hit wonders and massive collections of mediocre compositions.


Another great present is one I received this morning.  It is a list of passwords for a few social media accounts.  I find much of social media to be about mediocrity, like music itself.  However, I'm willing to give it a try if it means that some of my own music is introduced to you for the first time.  It could change your life for the better, as it has done for millions of other people, and their pets.

I hear that my birthday is being celebrated in Mr Twitter's Coffee House today and I have been invited to be the host at the beautiful @MozartyParty table.  Will you join me there for some #MozartChat?
