Maybe this doesn't mean much, despite being (I think) newssworthy. But I just think it is a remarkable thing: a kind of tangible "new media" link to an 18th century composer, in a way. It can help remind us that the past is sometimes closer than we think: who on this past Independence Day thought of 7/4/1776 as "maybe only three human lifetimes ago" instead of "230 years ago"?
