Happy birthday, Wolfy!
Today is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 253rd birthday. Mozart's father believed that Wolfgang and his sister were blessed by God (Amadeus means 'beloved of God') with their musical talents, and that these talents should be shared with as many people as possible. They toured all over Austria. Sadly, his frequent travel at a young age may have contributed to his early death – he contracted TB as a young boy and suffered illness often. In his short life, he created some of the greatest, and most moving, musical works of all time. You can learn more here at The Mozart Project.

I love classical music and Mozart was one of the best! I bet back then all the composers did not realize thier music would be considered "Classical" their music was just the music of the time.
