Last summer, I sat in a Vienna music hall, listened to Mozart's music being played by a 6 piece ensemble. No speakers, perfect acoustics. One of the most moving events of my life. I ran through the covered arch where Julie Andrews ran. I played on the stairs at Mirabelle Gardens. It was a wonderful trip! And I'd love to go back again someday!

I was in Salzburg with some family last year. My Aunt, Grandmother, my Cousin and I were in Europe for 10 days. When we were in Salzburg, we saw the birthplace of Mozart. It was just fascinating, since I love listening to classical music. Learned so much about this great composer.

Mozart was such a genius. Did you all know that he wrote his first piece at the age of five, performed before two imperial courts by six, and then composed his first symphony by eight?Gosh, were did he come from!
