For anyone who doesn't have that connection with Mozart, I urge those people to go and find some of his music, because it can quite genuinely make you just glad to be alive.
Beethoven and Beatles, Mozart and Michael Jackson, Paganini and Prince - I like them all.
Listening to my regular favourites - Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and so on - I always feel, quite misguidedly, that nothing can be too bad if such beauty and brilliance exists in the world.

Playing the Beethoven symphonies, for example, is a consummate experience for a musician because Beethoven speaks so directly to who we are as people.
Mozart is my first strength.
If you look back, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven were mixing music and humor all the time.
