HIS Friday, January 27, is the 200th anniversary of. the birth at Salzburg, Aus- tria, of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Honored by every country, Mozart has been cit- ’ ed by the World Peace Coun- cil as one of the world fig- - ures whose work brings the . peoples together. Some of the plans for cele- brating this musical event of the year in this country are listed by the CBC Times: “Joining with other org- anizations all over the world, the CBC: marks the 200th anniversary of the great com- CBC fo mark Mozart anniversary poser’s birth with special programs of his music. Dur- ing the next three weeks there will be performances of The Marriage of Figaro on television and radio, and Cosi fan Tutte on television. Celebrations will not be confined -to the week of his birthday. Geoffrey Wadding- ton, the CBC’s director of music, reports that there will be a planned emphasis on Mozart’s music’ throughout 1956.” A new complete edition of Mozart's works in 110 vol- -umes, compiled from original manuscripts is planned by the Mozarteum International Foundation, with editorial di- rection by Ernst Franz Schmidt. The first five vol- umes are to appear in 1956, and the project will take 15 years to complete. Record companies, too, are joining in the celebrations. It is proposed to record the bulk of Mozart’s compo- sitions in a “Jubilee Edition.” By January 27 66 LP’s will be ready, with 60 more by 1960, to make a total of 430 works, or about 80 listening hours. * * ae The sea: source of life and means of sustaining life.
