After watching the movie Amadeus, which is about Mozart's life and what another very famous composer named Salieri thought about him . Also, I read Encyclopedia Britannica kids. Here are some of the reasons to love Mozart:
"Mozart's output—especially in view of his short life—was enormous, including 16 operas, 41 symphonies, 27 piano and five violin concerti, 25 string quartets, 19 masses, and other works in every form popular in his time."
I agree with this statement. From movie "Amadeus", Mozart was well know as a prodigy and music master, so he must have a lot of great music which were loved by many people whatever before or now. Also, it is said that once Mozart write down his music sheet, then it is done. He need no change or modify, when he finish his first draft and it will be the final drift.

I think Mozart's and Haydn have pretty much similarity such as their structure always like to put the climax in the middle of the music and put some dramatic or tension at the beginning of the music to draw people's attention. However, Mozart also had some differences with Haydn, his music always more like reasonable and in some certain structure unlike Haydn always make people feel surprise.
Listening to this bright music it is hardly to believe that it's created by a composer, who has had such a difficult life.
I agree with this. According to the movie Amadeus, Mozart has a wonderful childhood and beginning of his career but a terrible end. He was even too poor to afford his grave when he was dead. However, if you listen to his music, you may hardly find his depression or he hid them very well. That is also one of the reasons I like him.
Future Research :What are the different ways composers create feelings in their listeners?
How does the culture of a time period affect the music that is composed?
