Discussion 1: Mozart
• The first movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G Minor is based on variations on a three-note motif. Explain why you think this Classical music form may be satisfying for both 18th century and contemporary listeners - and whether it was enjoyable for you.
• Mozart was considered a child prodigy, performing throughout Europe. Cite your view on the notion of the child star and the impact of early success on a person who shows exceptional talent or genius. Explain whether you think Mozart's struggle with sustained success in adulthood was a product of this phenomenon.
