Every Monday morning at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about stories we're featuring on our websites. Here's what we'll be discussing today.
Leonardo da Vinci invented a strange and wonderful instrument called the "viola organista." He wasn't able to hear it in his lifetime, but now you can.
The Toy Symphony has traditionally been attributed to Mozart's father Leopold, but did he actually write it? Hailey Colwell explains the mystery.
Mickey Mouse was the original Disney cartoon hero, but by the late 1930s he was losing popularity to the hilarious new character Donald Duck. Read about how Mickey's comeback got an assist from a French composer.
