RE: Who needs home keys? And why I hate Mozart......

Ah, c'mon, Andy. True, Mozart used what we now would consider a rigid, formal, and at first glance limited musical language. It's pretty easy to write something that's short and simple but clearly in the style of Mozart.
But Mozart was somehow able to tease out a whole lot of depth and elaborate detail out of that seemingly simple language. And that including wandering very far from the tonic, even if he always returned in the end. Look at the introduction to the Dissonant string quartet, or the late piano concertos, for example.
What Bach did for counterpoint (i.e., expand the concept on a grand scale), Mozart did for modulation.
