Does the playstation generation know Mozart? Yes, if they saw the movie Amadeus ... But I doubt they could name five other classical composers whose last names do not start with 'B.'

Nonetheless, I think Mozart's operas are mostly lighthearted entertainment, and were intended as such. The 40th Symphony has depth though.

Originally posted by @shallow-blueThat's your frailty, not Mozart's. Not every listener has ears to hear every composer. Listen again; if you still don't hear it, I can't make you.

Americans run from it.
