Classical Music Playlist, January 27, 2023
We’ll be playing music from the ‘80s today. The 1780s, that is. For his birthday (Jan 27, 1756), we’re spotlighting Mozart, composers he inspired, and his own masterworks from perhaps his greatest decade of composition. Listen for ‘80s Mozart sprinkled throughout the day, including his Symphony No. 41 from 1788 for today’s Midday Masterpiece.
