What do you know about Mozart other
than that he was a brilliant artist and quite the party animal?
Here is some wicked trivia for you:
BBC shows you a picture of his widow. Check it out. Don't be frightened.
And because it would
have been Wolfgang's 250th birthday, the Austrians worked like mad
on their online compilation to
offer you all of
his works online and for free.
What a project!
