Do you have recurring fantasies of escorting a historical figure around modern times?

I do this sort of thing all the time. I think it’s a great way to try to understand all the technology we take for granted.

I think of Mozart as a musical savant, who was known for working in a wide variety of styles and music forms - and offering quintessential examples of those forms. So he was open to - and apparently mastered - a wide variety of styles. That suggests to me he’d be more open to musical innovation than most composers, who would likely be locked into their ways.

Another “me too” for the concept, and for the sub-concept of Showing Modern Music to Mozart. I think he’d be fascinated by how modern music is more rhythmically and melodically complex than he’s used to (the non-European influence); but from an instrumentation standpoint, he’d see modern music as banging logs with a stick.

Plus, the boy parties. Take him to Vegas and watch his eyes light up as he finally “gets it”.
