They are towering works and as he was months away from death, it's almost like he said, "oh, I guess I should write SOMETHING consequential". All else is bubble gum for the ears. I've always been harsh about Mozart, but the resentment stems from the fact we were expected to play this restricted, precise and dry music (to my mind). Bravo to your daughter for marrying outside her instrument! I married another violist. That's a hilarious story for another day! Thanks for stopping by!

My daughter plays violin and married a violist. I still remember the day she came home from school to complain, "Mom, the kids nicknamed me Mozart. They don't know anything. They should have nicknamed me Beethoven." She was 7. Keep pantsing. Keep writing.Beth Camphttp://bethcamp2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
