It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Mozart came first.

And my view of Mozart is not only not singular, but entirely conventional and long-accepted. This, from a brief discussion in the completely non-technical Lives of the Great Composers:

{W]hat always sets Mozart's music apart is its proportion and rightness -- its taste, if you will. That, and an inexhaustible melody joined to an extremely daring harmonic sense. A fully developed harmonic sense, a feeling for modulation, is the infallible mark of the important composer.

[ .... ]

Some of his late piano works, such as the B minor Adagio, have a harmonic texture that actually anticipates Chopin, so varied is the key structure.
