It says "the young composer." but Mozart was 33

That's nice. Listen to the Orphanage Mass (K. 139) which Mozart wrote when he was 13 (f%@()g 13!) and get back to me. And maybe you can supply me with a list of Bach's greatest operas? Mozart's operas are so great that no one can seriously say for more than a month, without changing his mind, which is the greatest.

Listen to the Orphanage Mass (K. 139) which Mozart wrote when he was 13

It's impressive for a 13- year old if it really was written in 1768 and Wolfgang, not someone else, wrote it.

I do like Mozart. You can believe that he was the greatest composer if you like, but your statement that he is

so far beyond everyone else in greatness that words just cannot suffice.

just don't agree with what he himself said, e. g.

Kozeluch had assured Mozart that he would never composed a quartet the way Haydn had, to which Mozart replied: “Nor should I, but do you know why? Because neither you nor I would have had so good an idea.”

And maybe you can supply me with a list of Bach's greatest operas?

Oh please. Bach's passions, masses, cantatas, and motets (from which Mozart eagerly and profoundly learned)?
