My Own Private Wolfgang (audio story) was a 2008 Big Finish full-cast audio short story, featuring the sixth Doctor and Dr. Evelyn Smythe.
It had a notably innovative structure for a pseudo-historical story. The story began with a difference between how the audience and the TARDIS crew viewed historical events. It ended with the Doctor unwittingly changing history into a shape the audience recognises. In other words, the Doctor and Evelyn accept an exceptionally long-lived Mozart as being the norm for their time stream, but they change history such that Mozart died a young man in 1791.
Publisher's summary
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Born in 1756, a veritable wonderkind - playing music for the crowned heads of Europe as an infant, composing by the time he was five years old. But it's tempting to wonder whether his amazing longevity has overshadowed his creative genius - would Mozart's music be better respected, maybe, if he'd died as a young man? Would he be a legend of music, rather than of scientific curiosity, if he'd never lived to compose the film score for the remake of The Italian Job?
Cast
- The Doctor - Colin Baker
- Dr Evelyn Smythe - Maggie Stables
- Mozart/Young Mozart/Butler/Mask/Old Mask - John Sessions
References
- Mozart's real-life compositions, The Magic Flute and Requiem, are mentioned here. "Flute" just gets touched on in passing, while much of the last half of the play is concerned with the composition of his Requiem.
Notes
to be added
Continuity
- Mozart's inability to die, coupled with his desire to find a way to do so, is reminiscent of Jack Harkness, particularly during series 1 of Torchwood.
Timeline
All stories on 100 are assumed to take place between BFA: The Nowhere Place and Assassin in the Limelight, though their placement relative to each other is less clear.
