Setting the record straight-2
Posted in life, tagged 13, film, Henry Fielding, superstition, Tom Jones, unlucky number on November 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Normally I laugh at my own superstitious belief that 13 is a unlucky number. I speak from experience. Once in Chennai I stood in sweltering heat in a long queue. Tony Richardson’s Tom Jones,- and I was so keen to see it that I was in my place five hours before the show. While cooling my heels I could relive the scenes from the book and in delicious anticipation waited for the ticket counter to open. I was the 13,- and Unlucky Me! The counter shut right in my face. I had the consolations the fellows from 14 till 112 were all unlucky. Why single out the number 13?

Antonio Salieri (1750-1825)
Leopold Mozart, father of the composer called him ‘a scheming egotist,’ which perhaps was right. The kapellemister of Joseph II and the younger composer became quite friendly towards the end of Mozart’s life.
Salieri was highly regarded as a teacher and his pupils include Hummel,Beethoven,Schubert and Liszt.
