Wolfgang A. Mozart Bust
Unless you're a jogger or a cyclist, you probably would never come across this bust of Mozart. It's located alongside the bike trail right near the curly Q pedestrian bridge that leads from Nottingham Terrace to Hoyt Lake. From the Buffalo Arts Commission:
Olin H. Warner (Sculptor)
Bureau Brothers (Founder)
Mitchell Granite Company (Contractor)
This bust of Mozart sits atop a granite pedestal with six bronze plaques. The inscriptions on the plaques read: "Mozart 1756-1791", "Le Nozze di Figaro"(missing),"Il Don Giovanni", "Die Zauberfloete", "Requiem", "Erected in 1849 by the Buffalo Liedertafel."
The Bust of Mozart is reputedly the first sculpture installed in Delaware Park and amongst the earliest in the City of Buffalo.
Executed 1892, Dedicated 5/9/1894
