35 years old! Makes me wonder what he would've come up with next, where music would be today if he'd lived to a ripe old age.
I'm already 2 years older than Mozart was when he died, the fuck am I even doing with my life
Counterpoint: Tolkien didn’t start LOTR until he was 45
You underestimate my capacity for failure.
Not unless you'll fail to fail.
Living. Unlike Mozart at that age. You're doing fine. Just keep shining on...
Duh duh duh dom
Honestly his later works were so much better than his earlier ones too. The 41st symphony contains what is probably in the top 5 greatest post-Bach fugues, and it's definitely the best post-Bach fugue that was around at the time. The clarinet concerto is easily one of the best works for that instrument (I say this as a clarinetist), and it's also among Mozart's greatest concerti for any instrument. And the brilliance of the Requiem he was ironically writing at the time of his death speaks for itself.
If he had lived longer, we might have been saying that Mozart, not Beethoven, ushered in the next era of music. Sadly we'll never know.
Yeah but he drank himself to death by writing Requiem
Yeah well it'd been difficult for him to be him and to live to a ripe old age, given that he was a severe alcoholic and overall incredibly crazy
I'm older than he was. I guess I'm lucky that I'm a drunk and not an alcoholic (no, really, send help please).
Considering he wrote a song called Lick Me in the Ass, we're probably missing out on classics like Shit in My Mouth, and Fuck me in the Ear.
Isn't there a theory that Mozart was murdered?
