Although "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" translates to "A Little Night Music" in English, I have never heard it called that, so perhaps you should use the verb "meaning" rather than "called".

Also, the Count in Figaro is Almaviva, not Almavia.

In addition, it seems to me that 'he lost unconsciousness forever' would surely be better 'he lost consciousness forever'... unless I'm missing something...

And a space between 'opera' and 'Don Giovvani' at the beginning would be useful.

Thanks Guys.

All corrected.

Just a note, the lack of a gap between 'opera' and 'Don Giovanni' appears to be a bug which I've duly reported.

Cheers for now.

Ashley

Just a quick post to tell you how much I enjoyed this piece. It is an almost impossible task to select a 'favourite' Mozart work, but if cast away on a desert island, I could not survive without the Clarinet Quintet. A question: was Salieri really a bad guy in Mozart's life, or has 'Amadeus' done him a grave disservice? Take care,

Walter.

I agree with Sir George Solti: I am instantly inspired by Mozart's music, but his achievements as a human being humble me and raise me in the same hearbeat.

I believe his music came from a higher source.

Mozart reminds me constantly (in this violent, lonely and stark world) of what a human life is capable of achieving.

I think Mozart would be jumping with glee to think that his music is on a mobile phone!

ok
