Mozart

I have to admit that I am not his biggest fan.  I've studied music, performed it and conducted it for 50 years now, played in a group that performed a Mozart piece in 1959 of all things...ages ago.  But I'm not stupid.  A gift - such an incredible gift - comes along almost never.

If you remember the movie Amadeus, you might remember this scene.  What preceded it was just as marvelous - and by the way, if you could act this well your fortune would rightfully be made in the theater - where Salieri notes that Mozart never made "drafts" of his work - he just wrote them out. No errors. No re-writes. First time - one time...and many times he just wrote out the parts for the individual orchestra members as if he were copying from the "score" that existed only in his head.  Anyway - rejoice that God put an occasional genius amongst us.
