Distracted by bright shiny objects: Damn, I don't wanna write this paper!
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 02:11 AM by Ladyhawk
I'm supposed to write a short paper on the Classical Era of music and decided Mozart would be an interesting subject. The first biography I read was so boring I almost fell asleep, but Wikipedia is pretty cool. Let there be links! I just had to follow the links to learn about the galant style of classical and the subsequent return to contrapuntal musical themes of the Baroque. Then I had to go mess around with Ben Franklin's glass harmonica (originally "armonica"), for which Mozart wrote music. Whatever else they were, our Founding Fathers were freakin' geniuses. Both Franklin and Jefferson were avid inventors. I learned Franklin was a fine musician and even did some composing of his own.

I've just noticed links to audio files at the bottom of the page. Cool. B-) At this rate I'll never get this paper typed. I could use my tennis elbow as an excuse, but it's better tonight. Damn. :)
