If I were on a desert island with only one composer, it would have to be Mozart. Much as I love Ellington and Gershwin and Fauré! The Overture to The Marriage of Figaro is about as perfect and joyful a piece of music as ever written. His music is like a diamond–hold it up and it has an infinite number of beautiful rays of light to show you. I truly believe that listening well to Mozart exercises your brain, with all-good results.

Though I am bot MUCH of a fan of Mozart, I know and feel the influence of his music is pretty much visible up to this day.

Though not a huge classical music fan, I like listening to operas. I look forward to reading this. Always exciting to learn more about someone I should really already know about :). As for dying a pauper, oh how many great minds have suffered the same fate? I sometimes consider it less a tragedy and more a result of having been able to produce amazing works. Having that inside of oneself keeps them afloat, expelling them depletes the individual and, sometimes, extinguishes them. Circle of life and all that.

I’ve always loved Mozart’s music. As a child my dad would play classical music all the time and because of that my sister and I learned to appreciate the talent it takes to write it. Mozart is at the top of my list and it was nice reading more about him here.

I would like to learn more about Mozart. I think it’s fascinating and tragic that he basically died a pauper, considering the vast popularity of his music to this day. I’ve read a little about his life on CD album liner notes.
