What songs of the 'modern' era would Mozart be proud to have written?

[Hover Fly]

Who would win out of Mozart and Beethoven in arm wrestling?

G.F. Handel would have whopped them both.

 

[Minotier]

well that was 4 minutes and 7 seconds too long... I quite enjoyed it until it's repetition bored me senseless.

What about Delia Derbyshire, she pushed some boundaries in the modern musical age.

I can only take it in short bursts too but I thought he was the nearest modern equivalent to the question posed by the OP!
Has for the OP's idea that Mozart would have been into Kashmir by Led Zepplin, I think anything by Zepplin or Metallica would have been more a Beethoven groove. That's what sent him deaf I bet.
Mozart strikes me as more of a Barclay James Harvest or Camel listener. Yawn!

 

[Minotier]

It's from a film. I forget whether it's The Draughtsman's Contract or The Cook, the thief...

It's also (just about) by Mozart.

The Draughtsman's Contract is correct.
Nyman did the soundtracks for all the Peter Greenaway films and like the films they are all pretty much the same style.

Probably this,but then i haven't heard much Mozart, and i don't think anyone will listen to this either

Actually, I reckon Mozart would be a fan of, and exponent of boogie woogie... here Dr John and Jools Holland do their thang:

I think he'd have taken the Mark E Smith route - he'd have agreed to appear on Holland's show, but had it written into his contract that Holland wouldn't be allowed anywhere near him.

I knew I'd seen this somewhere and it was only watching Howard Goodall tonight I remembered where. For anyone foolish enough to doubt Wonder's genius or has disparaged him, watch this and tell us you feel the same. And there's a lot more on this subject on you tube should you feel brave enough to stick to your convictions anyway.
