Oh, I thought you possibly had a friend or even a relative from Croatia, there are many Croats in Australia.

Ready for some music? This year, 2006., is dedicated to one of the greatest composers of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (and my absolute favourite). False or true?

1. Mozart was born in Vienna.
2. He started writing music at an early age of 15.
3. His wife's name was Constance.
4. The film "Amadeus" was directed by Milos Forman.
5. Tom Hulce won an Oscar for his role in that film.
6. Requiem was his last, unfinished work.
7. He wrote only one opera, "Fidelio".
8. According to the legend, his arch enemy was Haydn.
9. He died at 35.
10. His funeral was attended by hundreds of his admirers.

Perfect timing. National holidays here so my husband is home from work and he likes Mozart a lot too, so I'm going to see if there's a chance for a bit of assistance :p

1. False
2. False
3. True
4. True
5. False -*tries to laugh in the same hysterical way he did in the movie*
6. Personally I would have said "true", but hubby mumbles that he left several unfinished works - so "False"?
7. False - I'm being told that was Beethoven
8. False
9. True
10. ?


(oh, and I can't believe I guessed so many extras on the tongue twister quiz - I only knew the ones with the seashells and the woodchuck, the others were pure guesswork - *yay* - *is feeling very proud of herself* :D)

Hehehe - thanks, now I can put my husband out of his misery. I asked him the questions, and he said "so what were the answers?" to which I had to tell him that he just has to wait - hehehe :D

Oki, I'm going to pick up the baton for the time being as I think Della's time zone won't have her on for a bit - so just to keep us amused in the meantime... :)
