"Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpointists to hack post-horses; therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: Chi sa più, meno sa— Who knows most, knows least."
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian composer of the Classical period known for symphonies, operas, chamber music, and concertos. His compositions remain central to the Western classical repertoire.
