Mozart was a versatile composer, composing works for each of the major musical genres of the day, including symphony, opera, solo concerto, and chamber music. Mozart's work was framed within musical classicism, which distanced itself from the emotional and "confused" style of the Baroque, its predecessor. Classicism was characterized by seeking in music an ideal of beauty based on balance, as was the case in the plastic arts of the 18th century. 5 must-see works by Mozart: 🎶 Requiem 🎶 The magic flute 🎶 Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major 🎶 Symphony No. 41, "Jupiter" 🎶 Haydn Quartets
