Mozart's Music and Chocolate

Well, today is a very special day for music lovers. It is the birthday of that boy fron Salzburg, the Christ of Music (as he was called), also known as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. His full name is much longer. I will of course celebrate today my favourite composer. I already bought a decent quantity of Mozartkugels. I was tempted to bake a birthday cake, but that might have taken things a bit far. Mut hey, the Mozart chocolates are now available in bars, so that's cool. Of course, I will also listen to Mozart's music (with Wolfie, I hope, the chocolate is like a way to get him in). And share some of that music with you, my dear readers. You may be surprised to see that the piece I have chosen to share today is not from an opera but fromthe Serenade Number 10, aka Gran Partita. If you want to know the reason, watch this. Otherwise, I wanted to find the appropriate music to celebrate the birth of Wolferl. Something both solemn and joyful.
