r/Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (January 27 1756-December 5 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era.

He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".
