It’s the birthday today of one of my favourite composers. I was reminded of this by The Ridger, over at the Greenbelt blog, who also mentions Alma Maria Mahler. She led a very colourful life, which prompted Tom Lehrer to pen one of his witty ditties. The introduction and lyrics can be found in The Ridger’s entry.
I love the photograph of Alma in the Wikipedia entry. The person shines through, and you can tell she has depth to her character.
