One of the greats, along with his teacher, Franz Josef Haydn, and a slightly later contemporary, the acme ... Ludwig van Beethoven.
Symphony #40. the cure for stress.
Haydn was a MASTER
The composer of the most sublime music and melody ever.
If you ever get a chance to go to the Mid-Summer Mozart Festival in the S.F. Bay Area at the end of July every summer, you gotta go. Maestro George Cleve, a Mozart scholar, is the director and conductor. It is a magnificent two-week event.

John Eliot Gardiner conducting the English Baroque Soloists. The "trio" section in the middle is a countermelody to the minuet proper. This permits Mozart to transition from the trio back to the minuet without a cadence. It's pretty slick.
Did you know that Mozart died while he was writing ‘The Requiem’.
I can’t believe it’s been that long. I knew him when he was just Joey.
Publius, thank you for the link. Hopefully I can find the rest of the symphony as well.
I think we All do. :)
Mozart points the way to Beethoven. Condi Rice's favorite concerto, which she played in a competition as a teenager.
