This is a myth btw. The elephant graveyards turned out to be former wells where elephants spent alot of time and – according to probability – many died there
Honestly his later works were so much better than his earlier ones too. The 41st symphony contains what is probably in the top 5 greatest post-Bach fugues, and it's definitely the best post-Bach fugue that was around at the time. The clarinet concerto is easily one of the best works for that instrument (I say this as a clarinetist), and it's also among Mozart's greatest concerti for any instrument. And the brilliance of the Requiem he was ironically writing at the time of his death speaks for itself.
If he had lived longer, we might have been saying that Mozart, not Beethoven, ushered in the next era of music. Sadly we'll never know.

I'm trying to imagine the music genre of Mozart Death House..
Classical instruments, but played in beat and repetition like house, and with death metal growling vocals 🤔

If you also add some industrial elements to it bands like igorrr come to mind.

Not going to lie, my entire work music playlist consists of rock and metal songs played by string quartet.

Apocalyptica? I ask because they're the only ones who come to mind. If you've got others I'd love to check them out.

I'm imagining Mozart like an elephant where he knows when he's close to death and goes to a dedicated place to die.

So close to Google+ reincarnated.
So, a screenshot of a tweet shared as a YouTube “Community Post”. (Long name, Alphabet could afford Twitter’s old naming rights…)

35 years old! Makes me wonder what he would've come up with next, where music would be today if he'd lived to a ripe old age.

I'm already 2 years older than Mozart was when he died, the fuck am I even doing with my life

Yeah but he drank himself to death by writing Requiem
robotica@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah well it'd been difficult for him to be him and to live to a ripe old age, given that he was a severe alcoholic and overall incredibly crazy
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I'm older than he was. I guess I'm lucky that I'm a drunk and not an alcoholic (no, really, send help please).
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Considering he wrote a song called Lick Me in the Ass, we're probably missing out on classics like Shit in My Mouth, and Fuck me in the Ear.
