Proper noun

Mozart (plural Mozarts)

  1. A surname from German; (music) used specifically of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period.
    • 2005 September 16, Nicholas Kenyon, “Myth, Muzak and Mozart”, in The Guardian:
      How do we know what we think we know about Mozart? And why is he still the most popular composer of the western classical tradition? He is one of the most written-about, dissected and mythologised composers in the history of western music.
    • 1999, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, translated by Tom Artin, Drawbridge Up: Mathematics—A Cultural Anathema, Natick, MA: A K Peters, page 25:
      Of course, this only raises once more the conundrum why the general public should value gothic cathedrals, Mozart's operas, and Kafka's stories so highly, but not the Method of Infinite Descent or Fourier analysis.
    • 1997, Larimer v. Dayton Hudson Corportation, Appeal no. 97-2127: Brief of the Defendants-Appellees, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, see footnote 6, page 11:
