Meet WA Mozart (1756-91), someone whose music I have always loved and felt at home with. Melody, orchestration and harmony aside, he articulates form by using all these strands. Analysis of his compositions in an education in itself, for he breaks all the rules. STOP IT. WHOSE RULES?? There weren't any such rules in his day. He was one of the composers whose works were used in the nineteenth century to fit into nineteenth-century boxes that were used to describe the style. The speed at which he composed, and his legendary powers of memory, are phenomenal.
