I mostly agree with it. I generally admire Mozart's technique, sometimes admire his tunefulness, humor or forays into darker, more aggressive sounds and seldom step away with any sensation of "awe". But...that's me. My benchmarks are the likes of Brahms, Beethoven, Bruckner etc.: composers who wrote music on a different scale, dramatically.
