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.
