If only he had been a bit more adventorous!  Yes, what stopped him, one
of the greatest composer of all time?!  Bach and especially Mozart just
refined the musical languages they developed in early years.  I think
that's a limitation, and if they were lesser known composers people might
have called it musical mannerism instead of refinement.
