He doesn't even make my top-ten. Beethoven, Bach, Berlioz, Vivaldi, Handel, Haydn, Stravinsky, Schubert, Brahms and Chopin were all better composers. Being a "child prodigy" does not necessitate lifetime greatness and that was certainly true in Mozart's case. Was he "good"? Of course. But was he deserving to be mentioned in the same breath as Beethoven or Bach? Not a chance in hell.
The verdict is in: Mozart was overrated.
