Interesting how Mozart music will always be one of the perfect Classical examples of immortality throughout time, even more on such a today's reality that doesn't care much for that traditional Classical Music typical magnification of emotions and sentimentality through their memorable and immortal melodies. There will always be those who slate these kinds of overt displays of sentimentality, but I am among those permanently enthralled.
And my thoughts about Mozart didn't change much since I began listening to him, but I've noticed on non-classical forums that today's general consensus about most of his music has been pretty much "take it or leave it" - people either love it or just don't care for (or dislike) it. Personally I don't feel that way, he is a genius still today, even if he was not a revolutionary on building new forms/structures into his music. And it's better so if he didn't care for bringing new sounds or experimentation either, because he was a great master in composing majestic melodic lines harmonically perfect, all often of sheer beauty. IMO, one of his "thumbprints" are those such a manic fluctuations between damn inward-looking melancholy and pure joy... incredibly without any sort of weight......just a matter of genius indeed.
