Creation of the great Austrian composer reflected the progressive ideas of his era, inexhaustible faith in the triumph of light and justice. In Mozart's music is dominated by cheerful colors, clear, unmixed lyrics, yet it contains many pages, rich with passion, emotional turmoil, drama.

As for the reflection in the music of Mozart advanced ideas of his era, can not say. Judging from the letters and memoirs of contemporaries, he had little interest, except for music and billiards. But its music is not nearly as cheerful and optimistic, as it seems at first glance as it was assumed until the 50's and 60's. last century.

legacy left by the composer, striking versatility and richness.

Catalog Ritter from Mozart left 626 works (including incomplete). I am a little surprised given here the number of symphonies - they are numbered from number 1 to number 41 (Jupiter), but in reality the 40 because it was proved that 36-Symphony wrote Michael Haydn, Joseph's half brother.
Mozart was very fond of Michael Haydn, with whom they were together in Salzburg in the service of the Archbishop Koloredo. One day, having visited Haydn in one of his trips to Salzburg, after moving to Vienna, Mozart learned that Koloredo commissioned Haydn 6 duets for violin and viola. Haydn sick and composed only 4 of the duet, but Koloredo refused to pay him a salary until it receives the entire series, so Haydn sat absolutely no money.
Two days later, Mozart, Haydn brought 2 missing duo. in G major (K 423) and in B flat major (K 424). The fact that they were written by Mozart, became known only after the death of Michael Haydn.
This is not the most famous pieces by Mozart, but listening to them, you find yourself in paradise (DG disc with G. Kremer and K. Kashkashian or melody with Oistrakh)
Artem, let me advise you to listen to the great Mass in B minor (K-427). Paradoxically, it is not so easy to find a good response to Mozart - always remains the impression that it contains much more than what you hear. In my opinion, the best recording of the Mass under Frikshaya (DG).
