The death of the famous composer Mozart has been not been as sweet as his compositions, but now researchers at the Unviersity of Amseterdam think they know why.

Their research has found that he may have died of a streptococcal infection which led to a fatal swelling of his kidneys. In more simpler terms, a bactirail infection that caused him a fatal sore throat.

Previous theories suggest that he may have died from poisoning, rheumatic fever and by simply eating spoilt pork!

Others just give a simple explanation that he composed himself into the grave and now is decomposing. Pardon the pun!

It is sad to feel.It is sad to feel that a genius of Mozart's height had such sufferings.Some of the genius had such painful experiences.Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel Laureate Bengali bard of India, had to pass through a very painful ordeal of enlargement of prostrate gland as there was no medical aid for this disease in those days.V.I.Lenin's last days were also miserable as he was deranged in those days.It is sad to feel, really.

I agree that it is indeed sad, although I also suspect that those who say that adversity it often the stimulus of true genius are correct. While I would never wish any of these conditions on any human being, it still can be inspiring to reflect on how the giants of our collective have so often worked through any obstacle in order to accomplish their goals.
