Mozart is probably the most well-known classical musician ever. That’s why he’s really really awesome. But at the same time, he can also be kind of crazy and weird sometimes. Here are some reasons why people like but sometimes don’t like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
First of all, he’s really bad at keeping his money. When he started getting really really rich, he was like, “Bro, I need to spend this. Like, now.” So he and his wife, Constanze Weber, started using his money lavishly and sometimes even extravagantly. For example, Mozart’s children all went to private schools. And I mean, that’s not BAD. It’s just that… He was really really bad at saving at least a portion of his money for later, just in case something unexpected happened to him. Then, when a few months pass, he’s really low on the cash and starts becoming really really glum. Then he might start doing more concerts and things like that, and then he spends all of that money and now he’s glum again (Mind you, he also had some debts to pay off at that time). That’s why you have to manage your money wisely and not be like Mozart.
Secondly, he was an alcoholic. I’m pretty sure everyone knows that being an alcoholic isn’t exactly the best thing in the world, but for those who don’t understand what I’m saying, I’ll explain it.
- Alcoholics drink alcohol.
- Then they really really want more.
- Then when they drink too much,
- They get drunk and sleepy and happy at the same time.
- Don’t drunk people tend to do weird things and say weird things?
And if you still don’t believe me, here:
- You have to be a freaking 21 year-old to be able to drink.
- A lot of sources on the internet also say that drinking is bad for your health: www.healthline.com, www.bbc.com, and www.health.harvard.edu, just to name a few.
- Why do you think everybody else doesn’t like alcoholics??
Third of all… Mozart liked butts. He, like, had an obsession with butts for some weird reason. I guess he thought he was being funny, but… In my honest opinion, he’s just failing really badly. Butt humor is typically used by four-year-olds… you get what I mean? So unless Mozart really wanted preschoolers to listen to his music, that’s not a real good obsession to have. One reason why he’s so childish might be because (In my opinion) his father started training him really really hard from the age of four. With all that composing, practicing, and working on new pieces or techniques from then on, I don’t think Mozart had all that much time to actually mature. He even wrote a piece called “Leck mich im Arsch”!
From everything I’ve written above, you might now think, “Oh, Mozart’s stupid!” or something like that (I don’t know, okay?). But you also have to remember that that’s not all to who he is. The reason why he’s still so cool is because he’s literally a GENIUS. A PrOdIgY. And he started musical learning at the age of four! Come on, that’s got to be at least a little impressive! He wrote so many pieces that are still played today. He also wrote operas, believe it or not. And even further, his masterpieces just flowed from his mind effortlessly. On the contrary, people like Beethoven had to struggle with their work and you can see that they crossed out, rewrote, and rephrased a lot. Even though Mozart tended to procrastinate (He once wrote a giant, giant piece on the MORNING of the concert), all of his work just comes out in one fantastic piece. He was a master pianist, an awesome violinist, and a lot more (that I can’t remember, probably the organ, though)! He wrote countless (over 600 works in all!) operas, symphonies, concertos, sonatas, and string quartets. And even though he spent it like an idiot, you still can’t ignore the fact that he was hella-rich.
In conclusion, Mozart was a little disgusting and acted like a doofus sometimes… But people still respect him and adore him even today. He’s just too cool, too genius and too awesome for people to only focus on the negative points of his life.
