That's in 4 whole years.

Plus, I don't care for Chopin.

You're nuts, in a good way.

Yes, I can't wait.  Last January, our classical music station broadcasted the Mozart 250th brithday festivities; even when the whole city of Salzburg rang bells for several minutes on the exact minute Mozart was born.  I hope they do things like that for Chopin, and I hope I can see or hear what celebrations take place in Poland.

Did anything special happen for the Beethoven bicentennial in 1970?


I suppose most people were too busy smoking pot and dancing to rock and roll and disco around then...
Fortune favours the musical.
