March 14, 1879

Albert Einstein is born in Ulm, Germany, the first child of Hermann and Pauline Einstein.
He played piano and violin starting at an early age and as an adult, credited his violin playing as a way to help work through big ideas.  While living in Berlin, he would often play his beloved instrument named 'Lina" with friends, including violinist Fritz Kreisler and pianist Artur Schnabel.

"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music ... I get most joy in life out of music.  Life without playing music is inconceivable for me," he once said.

Blimey, if Thomas Arne as is came in to audition for a part as one of the seven dwarfs, I have a pretty good idea which one I might suggest ..

Very much enjoy the interesting facts and images this thread turns up.  :)

Yes, not a very flattering portrayal.  :)

Wikipedia says about the artist Francesco Bartolozzi RA (Florence, 21 September 1727 – 7 March 1815, Lisbon) was an Italian engraver, whose most productive period was spent in London. He is noted for popularizing the "crayon" method of engraving.

In addition to Beethoven, India has honored Schubert, Handel, and Bach with stamps.

The country has produced a lot of music-related stamps, but most feature Indian musicians and instruments.
