Conclusion
It's true that I didn't find very many cold, hard, facts in my research of Mozart's influence on modern music. I found many sources that said he did have an influence, but none of them could tell me what exactly it was.
This made me wonder: Is it true that Mozart is more of a presence than an actual influence? Was it just his skill and the young age at which he started composing that made him so famous? After asking many family members, etc, it proved that though many of them didn't know what he had composed or much about him, but they did know his name and how old he was when he first started.
After learning from Cody Westheimer that Bach seemed to have a larger impact on today's composer I was disappointed. After all...Mozart was Mozart. But what did that mean?
I think that that simply meant, and means, that he was skilled...and his father did a very good job promoting him.
From my I-Search I haven't learned about Mozart's influence. What I have learned, though, is that its important to look into something before proclaiming it miraculous.
