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

There are very few composers whose later works don't have more to say than their earlier ones. All artists mature. So, you are saying you like his later works more than his earlier ones? OK. I don't think of composers as "brats" and such. A lot of that is trumped-up by authors trying to sell books. Mozart's early works are extremely "mature" as Classical Period compositions. His later works veer towards Romantic. Do you like music by the great Franz Joseph Haydn? Most of HIS stuff sounds like early Mozart...because it's Classical Period. The most highly successful Medieval and much of Baroque isn't nearly as emotionally charged (or as technically competent) as early Mozart. That makes this music disposable? Or, do we apply different standards as listeners in order to appreciate them?
