Outsider's Opinion

'"Mozart's influence on the music of western society is hard to overstate," says Wayne Bailey, director of the School of Music. "The beauty of his melodies has spoken to generations for 250 years, and the musicians in the School of Music have felt the impact of Mozart on their own lives." '

Apparently I wasn't mistaken when I thought that Mozart had a big impact on many musicians. Although this statement is from a teacher at a music school, who probably spends more time looking into such influences, I feel that nearly any 'follower' of classical music would notice a similarity in many of the lighter classical pieces of today.
