As a man who has made a profitable career out of his love of Mozart, Paumgartner views the bicentenary jubilee with a wary eye. "I've never tired of Mozart since I was a child," says he. "He's always new. But I hope the celebration won't kill him. He has a rough year ahead."
* Mozart left his works without opus numbers, but a loving Austrian named Ludwig Ritter von Kochel sorted them out to the best of his ability 71 years later, gave them numbers (ever since signified by a prefixed "K"), and thereby won immortality. The Köchel listing, with proofs and comments, ran to 551 pages, was later challenged and revised by the late noted German-born musicologist Alfred Einstein.
