Pronounced “MOTE-zart.” The most brilliant composer ever. From the time he was a child, music gushed frantically from his head to the paper almost nonstop. So much music came to him so quickly that he was often criticized for having compositions with “too many notes.”
It has been suggested that Mozart had Tourette’s syndrome - an obsessive compulsive disorder characterized by having a compulsion and trying to control it - which is why his music may run off in chaotic directions, but he always brings it back under control. Mozart is famous for the opera “Don Giovanni” and these: Ah! Vous Dirai - Je, Maman
Ah! Vous Dirai - Je, Maman
Better known as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” Also the tune of “The Alphabet Song” and “Bah, Bah, Black Sheep” in case you hadn’t noticed. Mozart didn’t actually compose the tune himself, but he’s famous for his variations of it.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik Preview YouTubeYouTube iTunesiTunes AmazonAmazon Mozart’s most famous piece. “A Little Night Music” sounds so much cooler when you say it in German. Sets the stage for posh parties, banquets or balls in movies. The intro music for the original 1983 “Mario Bros.” Nintendo game. Featured in the 2006 film “Tenacious D In: The Pick Of Destiny,” and on the soundtrack in “Classico,” along with Bach’s “Bouree In E Minor” (above) and Beethoven’s “Für Elise” (above). The tune sung by “The Four Peters” in the 2005 episode of Family Guy titled “Model Misbehavior.”
Piano Concerto No. 21 In C
Nicknamed “Elvira Madigan” because of its heavy usage in the 1967 film of the same name.
Piano Sonata No. 11 In A, Rondo Alla Turca
Preview One of the more annoying vintage Nokia ringtones. Played on electric guitar at the beginning of the song “Play With Me” by Extreme, which appears in the 1989 film “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” while Beethoven plays keyboards during the mall chase scene.
Symphony No. 25 Piano Sonata No. 16 In C
Raymond Scott had a 1939 hit with his adaptation of this theme, titled “In an Eighteenth-Century Drawing Room,” which was used as Granny’s music in Sylvester and Tweety Looney Tunes cartoons.

Papagena The Magic Flute (opera)
Papagena
Seen briefly in the 1984 film “Amadeus.” A charming, “popping” opera piece.
The Magic Flute (opera)
Queen Of The Night
This aria is heard in the 1984 film “Amadeus.” Also in the 2000 film “Miss Congeniality,” and on lots of cell phones as the “aria” ringtone. I think Mozart wrote these pieces just so he could see the performers commit vocal suicide.
The Marriage Of Figaro (opera) A sequel to the story of “The Barber Of Seville,” which itself was later turned into an opera by Rossini. The Marriage Of Figaro Overture
Overture
Preview YouTubeYouTube iTunesiTunes AmazonAmazon The song for the musical lock to the candy room in the 1971 film “Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.” The movie script called for the know-it-all Mrs. Teevee to incorrectly identify the composer as Rachmaninov.

Requiem (funeral) Mass
Dies Irae
Pronounced “dee-ace EE-ray.” An intense, dramatic choir piece perfect for dark, scary movie trailers. For another such piece, see Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna” (below). Mozart was working feverishly on this funeral mass when he died. Hey, who ordered the irony?
