#90: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a composer whose concertos,
operas, symphonies and more broke new ground and transcended traditional
limits.

All of his works have an exalted, luminous quality to them, and the
words "elegance" and "poise" come automatically
to mind when hearing his music. Mozart's playful and lively music
along with his more solemn compositions are performed and enjoyed
by millions around the globe. The standard of excellence Mozart set
inspired many later composers, including Beethoven.
His mastery of every form in which he worked and ceaseless creativity
resulted in music that showed the world for all time the brilliance
that can be achieved by the art form.
