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"?

The daguerreotype shows Constanze at front left, next to Max Keller. His wife Josefa is on the right.

What was his wife, one hundred and nine? Krikey! Me thinks something's not right here....
