I've been somewhere I guarantee none of you have.

He is well known simply because he was truly gifted at what he did.

There is a good reason of why he survived in the collective consciousness for such a long time.

Mozart was a popstar of his time, no emotion or heart in his music, just played to appeal to the masses, a 'gift' would be Beethoven when you want to talk about classical composers.

............wut


I'm way too tired to argue that.

But I will tell you all this.

I am eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch, watching Pulp Fiction and I am very comfortable..................Good night is good.

Left my deutsch test empty. I'll just redo it another time.

Mail-order brides
Turtlenecks and trophy wives
Had the ways and means to breach
The boarders of easy street
And to blend right in
We all surrounded them
In a white picket fence
Now both ends meet

Sufficed to say there's a time and a place so I wait
For the tug-of-war and who'll you pull for
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
That burns at both our good ends

Two peas in a pod
A battle-axe and a bastard child
Took one step more
And went straight to the source
And to blend right in
They opened fire with
Their rain checks spent
To make ends meet

Sufficed to say there's a time and a place so I wait
For the tug-of-war and who'll you pull for
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
That burns at both our good ends

Go on, paint the whole town red
I'd rather follow who cleans up the mess
And so I will

Sufficed to say there's a time and a place so I wait
For the tug-of-war and who'll you pull for
While between you and me from point A to point B is a fine line
That burns at both our good ends

Heh...finally managed to get my dad addicted to one of my console games. So the other day my TV broke, he went out and picked out a new one the same day...cool. :D

ikharos, Mozart was somewhat known in his time ~although his name raised high after his death~, but you can not compare him with a popstar today. He was poor, and even though music and art were quite important, most people took them for granted; most composers are known for battling poverty. He died, supposedly, of kidney failure ~which means he drank until he died~.
When I come to compare Beethoven with Mozart, I would say that Mozart was a greater musical genius. But the fact that he needed money so bad made him appeal the masses and the aristocrat fools. He composed ~a lot~, he composed en masse. Beethoven composed much less, but of a higher quality I would say. He has more emotion poured into his songs. But I like them both nonetheless.

You can't even compare Mozart to a popstar. People of that time didn't have celebrities. Information moved way slower than it does today, so it was plain impossible to know about famous people. The speed of information, and the scale of it's spread.
