W.A.Mozart is my favorite of classical composers. Few pieces lift my mood like Eine Kline Nachtmusik. "Emotional depth" does not always mean tear-jerking, heavy, or drama-filled. Happiness is an emotion. Joy is an emotion. Delight is an emotion. Mozart's music (I am not as familiar with his operas) is deeply filled with these positive emotions. Would he have eclipsed Beethoven? Possibly. It would depend on how popular tastes evolved. But the fact that Mozart was able to write music that made people smile, made people laugh, in spite of everything he went through, ranks him at number one in my classical music library. There have been other composers since that time that are equally brilliant (looking at you, John Williams), but nobody surpasses.

Mozart was the greatest composer of all time. His music writing was dictated by what the public like to hear as he had to please them to survive not having steady employment and basically the first “professional”
Musician. The fact that toward the end of his career he began to compose for himself and not a commission by noblemen he 1:10:07 began to display his incredible talent. The fact that Symphonies 39, 40 and 41 were written in an incredibly short span of time all the while completing Don Giovanni, the Magic Flute, several concert arias, and parts of one of the truly greatest works the Requiem is astounding. No other composer came close to what his brain could do, not even Beethoven who took 6 or more months to compose a symphony. I think trying to compare them is apple to oranges. Even Mozart’s piano was smaller allowing him less depth of range when composing. Beethoven could compose being less dependent on what the public liked than Mozart. Both men were gifts from God but I can tell you that when I hear Mozart’s music it’s like no other the emotions it stirs in me and millions of Mozart lovers all over the world.

Piano Concerto No 21 in Cmaj...I was 11yrs old...changed my life it did.

[EsmereldaWeatherwax-fs]

My "go to" composer. A day without Mozart is a day wasted

[richardkremmen]

Mozart is the all time best. Beethoven and others are wonderful, but Mozart is in a class of his own.

I think the Yutube channel History Buffs made a great comparison with Mozart and Micheal Jackson. Both were musical protegees who started their musical carriers at young ages (mostly due to their parents insistence) went on to have great success but later in life exhibited childlike behavior due to not being able to have experienced having a childhood when they were children.

Oct22, 2024 ... Mozart has locked himself into the position of "greatest composer of music" the world will ever see. The more I listen and think about him and what he must have been thinking as he wrote particular composition pieces, the more sure I am that God specifically established for humankind a demonstrable example, a shining glimpse, of the soaring creativity of which humans are capable.

[efibrilovski]

none before or after had been his equal let alone comet that lighted the sky

[marilynwoolford-chandler]

I really love Mozart’s music. I think we do no favours to compare him with Beethoven or anyone else.

[Silvertongue]

Im a pianist of 19 years and have mozart's signature on top of my right hand as a tattoo, , he was a genius, and definitely autistic like me 🎹🎼🎹

[luvrism]

i love this channel already! 😊 very in depth and explained simply.

[carolynhayward]

I believe Mozart to he the greatest and yes had he lived longer l can only imagine what this genius of a man would have left us musically speaking. One of my most admired composers taken away from us far too soon❤❤

[venkatraman]

I read the following in an article on creativity: "" All child prodigies remain a child throughout"".

A very enlightening and comprehensive documentry on Mozarts life from child prodigy to grown man. Enjoyed this video very much. Mozart has been and will be one of my favorite composers of all time. As far as comparing him to other composers I wouldn't say who was better. They all gave us such beautiful music to enjoy and their accomplishments and differences should be applauded not comparing who's better but rather appreciate that we have their music to listen to today, expressing our appreciation for their incredible works. Thank you for this video on Mozart. ❤

[PanteRan]

I think he was the one who gave the happiest music from all...his early demise prevents us from his full potential...so second to non just a pillar like all the greats!

[Tolstoy]

He did not use the name “Amadeus” unless he was jokingly using mock Latin. He went by the French “Amade’

[Seventeen_Syllables]

I don't think he would consider having his work used as a ringtone on a device centuries after the fact debasement. I think he would be tickled by it.

[richardque]

His sister also a child prodigy, unfortunately his father paid little attention to her.

[richardbates]
