Interesting. Me either. The Requiem and his three last symphonies though, are glorious. The detached, unemotional nature of much of classical music leaves me a bit cold. Classical in the sense of music written between the baroque and romantic periods.
Obviously.
Exactly, I get the feeling in the Requiem we look deeper into the dark sides of Mozart (but of course it was finished by others according to his instructions), and much of the Viennese Classical style is a bit too detached as you call it. Of the Mozart symphonies I know the famous #40 best, which I find nice.
