Whatever,
You should rent a movie called "Amadeus." That might change your mind about there not being any movie about Mozart.

I personally couldn't say that either of them were better than the other. Mozart did hammer out quite a bit more work, and more well known works, but that was a part of his personality and view of music.
Beethoven was much harder on himself, giving in to being a perfectionist, taking a painstaking amount of time on certain works. Mozart was quoted saying something to the effect, "keep your ears turned to him (Beethoven), cause he'll give you something to listen to."
Beethoven did just that with his fifth symphony to which he spent four years preparing and, as of 1995, was still the most well known piece of music on the planet, according to conductor of the Lexington Symphony.
In shear body of works, including those that many will undoubtedly recognize for centuries to come, Mozart is unmatched. However, when it comes to hitting the "top of the charts" and staying there, Beethoven currently has everyone in history beat.
FYI, The movie "Amadeus" pulled down 8 Academy Awards.

Beethoven greater effective than Antón . So Beethoven . Mozart is okay attractiveness is strenght Beethoven seems cooler than Antón. And Mozart relies upon if Mozart is such as girolamo.. Antón sucks too gruesome. relies upon on sinverguenza

I prefer Mozart because of the sheer volume of his output and creativity and as for the other person who said that she doesn't know of a movie about Mozart, have you ever heard of "Amadeus"? It did win best picture in 1983.

Simple answer...Mozart was pure talent (genius), born with it. Beethoven was a diligent student/composer mixed with LOTS a talent.

Probably Beethoven. There was much more controversy about him. Heck, they made a movie about him (immortal beloved). I don't think there's any movies out there about Mozart.

Who cares? both were unbelievable. Personally, I hear more contrast between Beethoven's earlier compositions and his later ones than between Mozart's earlier compositions and his later ones, but that is definitely open to debate. Why do you ask?
