Mozart Fans Only

Tostado, Rott was a fellow student under Bruckner with Mahler. I understand Mahler held him in very high esteem and was greived by his unfortunate illness.

Learsfool, Let's not forget Hans Rott, who eventually was institutionalized, having run through a train waving a pistol and shouting that Brahms was trying to kill him. I'm pretty sure that qualifies.

Learsfool, LOL. Now, if someone can explain the operation of zero dimensional quantum dots, I will be quite impressed.

Frogman, I have a Shetland Sheepdog named Wolfie after you guessed it, Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart himself. Short of stature and a rather large nose. The dog that is. Now this dog loves music, especially Schubert's chamber music, as evidenced by his propensity to sing along with the violins. Only on rare occasions will he sing along with anything other than Schuberts late quartets. Even if he doesn't sing along, he usually wanders into the music room when he hears the music start. Ironically, my wife wanted to name him Schubert. I just had to name him Wolfgang.

Schubert, wow, amazing. What is it with dogs and Schubert?

Schubert, well said. In view of all of this, perhaps the name Wolfgang Gottleib is an appropriate name for my dog after all.
