@Galantski Yes I agree. It's tantalizing that there aren't any portraits out there on which we can see what he truly looked like. Most portraits seem to be done by memory of the man.

@bartje11 - Interesting. It doesn't look like the other portraits. A BBC article entitled "Rare Mozart portrait discovered" discusses it. The unlikeness to what we think Mozart looked like seemingly led one scholar quoted to declare, "Needless to say, it will encourage us to think afresh about Mozart's appearance." It looks more like Leopold--or as mentioned, Haydn--than to the wunderkind. If it had been known when "Amadeus" was filmed, Tom Hulce would never have been cast in the title role.

Probably its best symphony. It reminds a bit of Cosi Fan Tute.

@italiangrl3343 nah. he was a speedy composer. There is an account wher he was havin fun with his friends and drinking and asked 2 b excused for a while and came back about a couple hours later. and when he was asked wut he was doin he said 'oh i have jus finished the 1st mov of a symphony' .. comes so naturally to him. pure genius!

he wrote this in his stage of depression. and this one, symph. no. 40, and 41 came quickly after so it could have possibly been rushed...
Wait...isn't that Haydn's picture?

@Galantski No, it's a recently discovered portrait of Mozart (1783 I think) Scholars think that this is probably his most accurate likeness
