Happy Birthday, Mozart! You Rawk!

Salzburg went wild recently with a celebration of the 250th birthday of music's most fascinating genius.

The Google internet search machine rose to the occasion with programmers bedecking an "o" with a Mozartian wig and replacing a "g" with the treble clef.

Giants of classical music sang the praises to the creator of more than 600 works, including some of the most beautiful music ever written; the lover of scatological jokes; the impertinent youth who talked back to Austrian Emperor Joseph II after he criticized his "Abduction from the Seraglio."

"He comes from another star," declared conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt as he grappled to define Mozart in his entirety.
