Bob Draper, comparing Mozart to the better minor composers of his era:

>But their works aren't taking up valuable space in CD stores!!

I have my doubts that reduced space for Mozart recordings would have any
result other than reducing the size of classical music dpeartments in
record stores.  As a classical music lover, my general feeling is that
there isn't enough space devoted to *any* composer of classical music.

Also, I keep reading from some list members that they think that there are
folks who claim that every work of Mozart's is a masterpiece.  Where does
that opinion come from? Who has made that claim? I've never heard or read
anything like that.
