My Take
What strikes me most about Mozart is not the prodigy mythology but the sheer density of his short life. Thirty-five years, more than 800 works, and operas like The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni that still set the standard for the form. He received the Order of the Golden Spur at fourteen, which tells you how early the world noticed. What keeps me coming back is how modern he feels: the wit in Figaro, the darkness in Symphony No. 40. Most genius ages into history; Mozart still sounds like he was writing for next week. That, to me, is the rarest kind of greatness.
