So we are back to the Eighteenth Century Drawing room - Papa Haydn cannot
be far behind.  The reality is that there is so much more to Mozart then
melody and entertainment.  Those words scarcely do justice to the operas,
the late symphonies, the piano concerti, the liturgical music, the
quartets, the wonderful viola quintets, the music for winds, the trio for
strings,K 563, the requiem, the clarinet quintet, the sonatas for various
instruments, etc.  Otherwise they work fine.
