Austrian composer who composed over 800 works in his 35 years of life — symphonies, operas, concertos, chamber music, sacred music — with a fluency, variety, and structural perfection that has made him the paradigmatic example of musical genius.
Produced the most perfectly balanced classical compositions in history — the Don Giovanni, the Jupiter Symphony, the Piano Concerto No. 21 — combining technical complexity with immediate emotional accessibility in a way that defined the classical style and has never been surpassed in terms of sheer melodic invention.
