YMMV / Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Go To


  • Archive Panic: You might experience this after buying the Complete Works. For example, the Mozart 225 edition has 200 CDs.
  • Gateway Series: Mozart is one of the best-known names in Classical Music, so he's certainly been many people's introduction to the genre as a whole. It is contributed by the fact that Mozart compositions have various levels of complexity.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: In "The Magic Flute", many people are only interested to the Queen of the Night aria.
  • Values Dissonance: A strange incidence, not between Mozart and the 21st century viewer, but with viewers only 20 or 30 years younger than himself (if that): while Don Giovanni's plot deals with violence, rape and sex under coercion, this generation found its All Men Are Perverts premise far less shocking than the All Women Are Lustful premise of Così Fan Tutte (where the girls only get engaged and may not even kiss their boyfriends from whirlwind romances while already on a promise with other men.) According to Beethoven, this was 'an insult to all women' — it was so shocking that it disappeared from the repertoire for over a century.
