Writing in The Smithsonian Magazine recently, Edward Rothstein states: "I had come to Salzburg, the town where the composer was born, January 27, 1756, and Vienna, the city where he died a scant 35 years later, likely of complications from rheumatic fever, to survey the terrain before this year’s celebrations of the composer’s 250th birthday."
So what are we to believe? Did Mozart die when he was 35 years old, or is he, as I personally am inclined to think, still going strong today?
