The number 3 is also a conveniently deniable Masonic symbol. If confronted by the Church about it, Mozart could always claim that his intent was to symbolize the Trinity! [Edit -- What I was taught in music history class years ago was that Mozart's status with the Church was precarious due to his association with the Freemasons (Freemasonry being forbidden by the Catholic Church). Having done a little online searching just now, though, I have found several sources, including this Wikipedia article, that suggest that what I was taught was wrong, and that, in fact, Viennese Catholics of Mozart's time did not see any conflict between Freemasonry and Catholicism. As a side note, another little bit of trivia I discovered was that Pope Benedict XVI's two favorite pieces of music are Mozart's Clarinet Concerto and Mozart's Clarinet Quintet.] Post Edited (2009-05-29 18:55)
