This cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates.  It is located in Shannon Park, a park in the Town of Wawayanda, New York.  Do not attempt to search for this cache after sunset.  Parking should be obvious.  Difficulty rating is for the puzzle portion of the cache - not the hide at the final destination. The rating for the cache itself would be a 2.

Music has often been referred to as “heavenly”, but others have voiced other opinions.  Some interesting insights include:

Leopold Stokowski who opined that “A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ”

Hans Christian Andersen  wrote "Where words fail, music speaks."

Plato claimed that “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.”

While Frank Zappa pessimistically intoned “All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.”

Whatever your thoughts, the world owes a debt of gratitude to the classical composers that laid the cornerstone that all modern music is built upon

As a reward, in Classical Heaven these pioneering composers are given special pets to give them company and keep them happy as a thank you:

 

Mozart was given an Emu                                            

Haydn obtained a Capybara

Debussy did not merit one      

Beethoven acquired a Dingo   

Tchaikovski secured an Aardvark      

Bach collected a Gnu                                     

Chopin was granted a Bandicoot
