Should be working actually instead of babbling here...thats a result of my never-ending procrastination...but then again, its Friday night....how can i feel in a working mood on Friday night?! (excuses excuses...) But if its a Friday night, shouldnt i just move my butt and go out? Yeah I should...but im too lazy to do that, and its too cold outside, and i just dont feel like it...as usual...
And here comes a great card...or at least i love it a lot....it shows the Mozart Museum in Mozart's Birth House and you can see the Hammerklavier made in about 1780....just to make it clear, Hammerklavier is the German word for 'piano'.
For some reason i love cards showing certain kind of people who have had their significance throughout the history....problem is, i cant make some exact distinction about what kind of people i like to see on my cards...but so far, ive been receiving really nice ones :)))
my first Mozart encounters was when i was very little actually...i had those small game-devices...i dont know whats the exact name in English, but there were all sorts of different ones, where you could play all sorts of sports or some platform games...of course, they were very simple ones, and you had those 'joystick buttons' to move through the screen...we are talking about devices you could hold in your hands, so no plugging in the tv or pc or so...anyways, on one of those, which was about playing basketball, there were two tunes while playing and one of them was from Mozart.....i think the other one was from Betthoven, not really sure...too bad i dont have those now, otherwise i would have checked...but there, thats when i started developing some sort of affection towards classical music...how the rest of my musical taste developed is another story, but i know my mum aint happy about it at all, and often said how what i listen to aint music....
and here is something for you to enjoy...feels quite appropriate for such cold nights...
the stamp is from 2007 from a set of 5, showing, flowers, of course :)

Gustav Mahler
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card!!!!
This is Gustav Mahler...and Austrian composer and conductor (7 July 1860 – 18 May 1911). He was best known during his own lifetime as one of the leading orchestral and operatic conductors of the day. He has since come to be acknowledged as among the most important late Romantic/early Modernist composers, although his music was never completely accepted by the musical establishment of Vienna while he was still alive. Mahler composed primarily symphonies and songs; however, his approach to genre often blurred the lines between orchestral Lied, symphony and symphonic poem. On this photo here, Gustav is 49 years old....
Unfortunately, im not familiar with Mahler's work, so i dont know what is it that i may recommend you....if YOU have something to suggest, im open for it...
well, i really liked this piece in particular, so i thought sharing it with you...and for some reason, i have a feeling i had heard it somewhere before...wasnt it on Tom and Jerry?
