- I am known for composing opera and symphonies, but I am recognized as one of the most important people to create Sonata. I am known as the Father of the String Quartet as well. I also worked for the Esterhazy Family for 29 years and my lack of love and deep human connection sent me into a deep depression. This and my struggles as a young lad influenced me to write the 45th Symphony with minor arpeggio.

- I brought opera to the audience on more personal level. My opulent lifestyle and coupled with the Austria/ Turkish War sent me into a deep depression that influenced one of my most famous pieces The Magical Flute.
