At the risk of making enemies: I have already had enough of it. Mozart
has been all that interests the music world since the year began, and by
the looks of it, we'll have the same, very superficial "Everyone loves
MOzart" thing until the end of the year.
Last year was the 200th birthday of Fanny Hensel, probably the most
influencial woman composer ever, and noone noticed. Same for
Boccherini's bicentenary.
This year is also the 150th anniversary of Robert Schumann's death,
which sort of gets lost in all that Mozart Hype.
This year is also the bicentenary of Michael Haydn's death, a much
underrated composer, but he is a little unlucky to have died exactly 50
years after Mozart was born.
Not that I don't like Mozart...

At the risk of overstating the obvious (and a wee bit off topic), I wanted to
wish everyone on the list a Happy Mozart's Birthday (250th to be precise). His
music was my first exposure to classical music over 25 years ago. My love of
Mozart hasn't diminished at all. In fact, I can't imagine the art of music,
without thinking of Mozart.
