From Mozart’s work, which is widely performed today, he is still regarded as one of the best composers of all time… Seems pretty different from somebody whose handlers paid for good reviews…
I don't mean to be snobby but while I rather like Mozart's later works, Mozart's early works really do sound like they were written by a kid that got famous.
Shakespeare's early Titus Andronicus isn't a pleasure either
Hey at least we get a genuine Shakespearean “yo momma”:
Demetrius: Thou hast undone our mother.
Aaron: Villain, I have done thy mother
You haven't seen the stunning film version by Julie Taymor.
