I don’t understand your reference. What is a droogie, and who is Alex?

The reference is to A Clockwork Orange. Alex is the leader of a small gang, and he loves Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. By bad luck, this is the music that is played in his aversion therapy, so he can’t bear to listen to it anymore.

As to the question, I don’t think Mozart would have worked for the story.
