There’s, lately, been a lot of research reassessing the achievements of
Mozart and Haydn, finding a lot of solid evidence that both of these
historical figures are brands built on fraud, theft, and dishonest
marketing.
Here’s an interview of the researchers, and authors of the book, “Mozart.
The Fall of the Gods.” https://www.mozartthefallofthegods.com/
The researcher who piqued their interest is Giorgio Taboga. So, it’s worth
looking for his writings, too.
Here are some excerpts from the interview.
“Mozart was not a genius even as a teenager. In Bologna he risked not
passing the exam to become a Philharmonic Academician. If he had delivered
the exam assignment as he composed it, they would have rejected it. Father
Martini intervened and helped him by passing him the right solution. When
the examination board voted on his admission, not all votes were in favour,
as Leopold claimed. His exam paper was judged only sufficient due to the
circumstances.”
“As a child, Mozart suffered from the delusions of a cheating father, who
stole his childhood by denying him adequate education. As a young man, the
archbishop preferred other composers over him, and the courts held him in
low esteem, relegating him to a marginal position even in Vienna. In death,
his greedy wife forged the manuscripts to make the most of them. Miserably
compensated when he was alive, and forgotten at the time of his death, he
was transformed by businessmen into a brand.”
“According to our findings, we think Mozart wrote about 10% of what is
attributed to him.”
“HG: What composers are the ones the Mozarts used the most to present as
music by ‘by WA Mozart’?
“LB&AT: Many: Gasparini, Jommelli, Traetta, Paisiello, Myslivecek etc.”
“Mozart is big business. Proving with primary sources, as we do, that
Mozart is not a genius but a normal man, and a composer that was not even
especially gifted, certainly annoys many people.”
