A reader sent me a clipping from a regional American newspaper, in which one learns the following fun facts about Mozart: 1) he was home-schooled; 2) his music has been featured in such films as Agent Cody Banks 2, Runaway Bride, Welcome to Mooseport, Daddy Day Care, and GI Jane; 3) he wrote 49 symphonies, 22 piano concertos, and 45 violin sonatas; 4) if you want to get to know Mozart's music, you should start with the Piano Concert 21 in C major (Elvira Madigan), Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and, of course, the Goldberg Variations.
Tom Hartley adds: "I look forward to the CD cover that says, "Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550 (The Agent Cody Banks 2)." Another reader writes in to point out that the Goldberg Variations are actually by Bach. Indeed they are. The point was that — oh, never mind.
