Episode 1: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: You might well have heard of Mozart – but did you know he had a really rude sense of humour? Or that he owned a pet starling? In the first episode, David meets one of the most famous composers of all time… and has a bit of a run in with a music professor.

Excellent, fun, informative!

David you are such an artist!! We had so much fun listening to the podcast with my son, but at the same time learning about his music, his character, and other annoying people like Salieri and Simon Cowell. We are definitely following! Thanks!!
