Mozart’s grave hidden in Vienna household tale and octopus notes
A December 1791 funeral in Vienna left Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s grave unmarked as a pauper’s burial, later mystery around his final resting place. The piece recounts Mozart’s 922 known compositions and lifelong generosity to his wife and friends, despite dying penniless. It also surveys octopus behavior and sea life, then notes a “Marvels of the Sky” leaflet and public notice about 8-cent stamps and Holland’s dikes, ending with a remark on postwar auto tire prices.
