In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of W. A. Mozart,the British Library has placed pages from the omposer's "Catalogue of Aall My Works" online. Mozart compiled the diary of sorts between February 1784 and December 1791, making entries for 145 of his works. For each entry, Mozart wrote the title, date it was composed, and instruments that should perform it. For some works, the composer also identified who commissioned it, where it was composed, and singers who
performed it. Mozart then added to the diary the opening bars of each work included. For the project, the British Library commissioned the Royal College of Music to record those opening bars for about half of the works in the diary. Visitors to the Web site can see Mozart's notes and click on a link to hear the recording of the opening.Edupage 1/13/06
