Happy 261st! Don’t worry, we’ll
still treat you like you’re 11. |
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s birthday is nearly upon us: On January 27, he’ll be turning 261 years old. ’Tis the season for listicles touting the miraculous powers of the Mozart Effect (which I’ve discussed
here and, more recently, in
the article I wrote for The Outline). Some website or publication might mention his
rivalry with Salieri, or
extol his otherworldly perfection. But
The Telegraph got a head start and already published
“Myleene Klass on the enduring appeal of Mozart” (Warning: Video autoplays), an article filled with so many myths and clichés that debunking them might take care of my Mozart quota for a while.
