Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was not only a musical genius,
but was also one of the pre-eminent geniuses of the Western world.
He defined in his music a system of musical thought and an entire
state of mind that were unlike any previously experienced. A true
child prodigy, he began composing at age 5 and rapidly developed
his unmistakable style; by 18 he was composing works capable of
altering the mind-states of entire civilizations. Indeed, he and
his predecessor Bach accomplished the Olympian feat of adding to
the human concepts of civility and civilization. So these two were
not just musical geniuses, but geniuses of the humanities. Mozart's
music IS civilization. It encompasses all that is humane about an
idealized civilization. And it probably was Mozart's main purpose
to create and propagate a concept of a great civilization through
his music. citystreets, their violent mono-maniacal leaders and
their stifling, non- humane bureaucracies, new ideas on how to run
their civilizations properly. He wanted them to hear and feel a
sense of civilized movement, of the musical expressions of man
moving as he would if upholding the highest values of idealized
societies. One need only listen to the revolutionary opening bars
of his famous Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to see this.
