I totally disagree with this wild eyed hate infested diatribe. Having sung Mozart for over a quarter century with orchestra I found him bringing people closer to God after each performance than before.
He was for sure a genius and perhaps irreverent at times as many people are in their youth. He only had his youth had he lived longer perhaps what we think of him would be different.
While there is no comparison that can be made of Mozart to J.S. Bach, it does not take away from the quality of the Godly music that Mozart produced. Bach was probably the most prolific musician to have ever lived, that he was humble enough to live as a church mouse is wonderful, not everyone is willing to do that. Mozart depended on his music for his livelihood and therefore produced operas that paid well, he had a tendency to live well. He gave the people what they wanted, an irreverent look at life, but he also produced some of the most reverent music you could ever listen to. I do wish he could have lived longer so that we could have more of his work.
Considering how short his life was his production of music was most wonderful and often most reverent.
While J.S. Bach produced a huge amount of wonderful music and was likely a genius there will never likely be anyone so musically gifted again as was Mozart. Mozart was barely an adult when he died at the age of 35. J. S Bach lived nearly twice as long and produced (as did Mozart) music up until the end of his life. What a wonderful age of music that was.
