Although most people agree that Mozart's music sparkles
brilliantly, no one knows for sure how Mozart created those
majestic glimmering sounds. Today, scholars are investigating
Mozart's life and work, not only to assess and admire how great a
composer he was, but also to find why his music is so outstanding
and intricate on one hand and so appealing to all including the
common man at the same time. Mozart's best music has a natural flow
and irresistible charm, and can express humor, joy or sorrow with
both conviction and mastery. His compositions, especially his later
efforts, are brilliant examples of a pure art form; even his lesser
compositions and juvenile works feature much attractive and often
masterful music. Despite such fervor and brilliance, Mozart's life
was tormented by many difficulties and mysteries which have not yet
been completely revealed. This work aims to offer some reflections
about the most debated aspects of his intense existence.

The Struggle of the Magicians. Choreographed and staged by Georg
Gurdjieff for the first time more than a century ago, this ballet
became a magnet attracting thousands of spiritually disillusioned
men and women to performances in Europe and the U.S. after WW I,
then it simply vanished from sight after WW II. Its reappearance in
print commemorates the birthday of Mr. Gurdjieff 131 years ago (Jan
13, 1872)
