HI,
Oh, I forgot to mention that I am not totally ignorant of Mozart's life. I'm actually pretty familiar with it having read several biographies. I think his father was close to a monster, a soccer mom in drag. I do know of his young fame, his father's ambition living his life through his son's, his history in the courts and of his financial difficulties.Also, of his childish dependence on his father then the courage to try to break away. He never really succeeded. It was too late. They were emotionally bonded forever. Buried in an unmarked paupers grave. A sad ending. It would have made a good opera which I would probably have never seen.
The best you can accuse me of is indifference. Please don't play your "I'm superior" card. It won't fly with me.
