Hi,
A quiz question for all you Rahman fans out there!
Connect: Rahman, Mozart and 1771
Any guesses?
Well, let me give you the answer.
*Rahman* owns a car (Toyota Innova is a car or SUV?) whose registration
number is *1771*. And the connection between *Mozart* and 1771 is: (taken
from this link: http://www.mozart2006.net/eng/id/15780/direktlink.html)
*Mozart's Biography*
*1771*
* *
*Commissioned to write an opera for the Milan Carneval of 1772/1773
("Lucio Silla" K. 135), father and son returned to Salzburg on March 28th,
1771.*
* *
*For 138 days they remained in the city on the Salzach, before once again
leaving for Milan. There, on the occasion of the marriage of Archduke
Ferdinand to Princess Maria Ricciarda Beatrice d'Este of Modena on October
17th, 1771, Mozart's "Ascanio in Alba" K. 111 was performed.
On December 15th, 1771, they returned to Salzburg. Just one day later,
Mozart's lord and patron, Prince Archbishop Sigismund Christoph of
Schrattenbach, passed away. Mozart's Serenata dramatica "Il Sogno di
Scipione" K. 126 was performed in honor of the new prince archbishop,
Hieronymus Count Colloredo. This change in the political tide - Prince
Archbishop Hieronymus was a strict, uncompromising and, in artistic matters,
unenlightened ruler - rapidly had a noticeable effect on Mozart's
travel activities.*
Isn't this an amazing discovery? Thanks to my blog friend: Ramanan. He blogs
at http://dandanaka.blogspot.com and also thanks to Pyarilal of
www.pyarilal.com fame.
Is this just a coincidence? Or is there any truth to this discovery?
Love,
Adi.
