The above two posts are completely true imo. I love the music of Ravel and Debussy for example and although there is a high probability that if Mozart had been alive during the early 1900s, he would have equalled or perhaps even superseded the aforementioned composers, there is also a chance that he would have fallen flat on his arse. There's just no way of knowing!
I do however agree that he was immensely able and gifted.
YouTube - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21 - Andante
This is my personal favourite Mozart piece. Although I actually find a lot of Mozart's work to be a tad harmonically uninteresting (personal taste), the above piece is one of the few pieces of music that I would not change a note of (although I would love to write my own version of it).
As for Bach:
YouTube - 'Air' from Suite No.3 in D major - Johann Sebastian Bach
Hopefully this piece will live on forever...
