Conductor Ian Page has embarked on a 27-year project to play Mozart’s music, in order, 250 years after it was written. He has reached 1776, when Mozart was 10 and his music was already breaking new ground Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756‑1791) is probably the most famous composer of all time. But how much do we really know about him, and how do we separate reality from myth? After all, even the name by which we know him is inauthentic: he was baptised Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart – Theophilus being the Greek form of Gottlieb, his godfather’s name, meaning “beloved by God”, and although Mozart referred to himself as Wolfgang Amadé throughout his adulthood, he was never known as the Latinised “Amadeus” during his lifetime. We have a partial appreciation of his music, too, as fewer than a quarter of his works are regularly played and a large proportion of those are mostly neglected. Mozart seems not to be interested in writing tunes but plays with the orchestra as if it were a new toy Continue reading...

Insults based on others’ unusual food tastes have a long history. Jeremy Corbyn is only the latest to have perfectly legitimate breakfast habits used against him On a lovely afternoon in the summer of 1969 I sat in the smart and, for a newspaper, remarkably silent offices of the Observer being interviewed for a job on the paper’s magazine. “How would you describe our magazine’s readers?” wasn’t the sort of question I had been asked before. “How would you describe your parents?” “How would you describe your upbringing?” Intimate enquiries of that kind invited an articulate self-awareness that was then not generally available, or not to me. In any case, in journalism at that time you hardly gave a thought to the consumer – the product was the thing. I had come down from Glasgow. I said: “Maybe they’re the kind of people who eat french beans with their mince rather than peas,” a clever-clogs reply that was probably puzzling or irritating to my interviewer and yields no pleasure at all to remember. It interests me now for two reasons: one, in its implication that, in 1969, french beans could still be thought of, at least in Glasgow, as an aspirational or pretentious food; two, as an example of what might be called gastro-synecdoche, in which people are characterised by a part of their diet. I don’t know how much anthropological study has been devoted to the idea – perhaps a great deal. Obviously, it must go back a long way, possibly to the days of the hunter-gatherers and the dietary differences between tribes and localities. The ancient Greeks knew the Romans as _pultiphagonides_ – after _puls_, a pap made from coarse bread – rather as “bean-eater” is the pejorative in the US for Mexicans. Later, national rivalries played a part. The French and the English began to characterise each other in terms of roast beef and frogs in the 18th century (although the Simpsons waited until 1995 to describe the French as cheese-eating surrender monkeys). In Lilliput, Swift imagined a conflict between the Big Endians and the Little Endians over the correct way to break open a boiled egg. Continue reading...
