    I find the vichan search is broken, so I cannot find a former post about Mozart that I remember. I will post it here.
    Quoted from Johann Hinrich Claussen's Gottes Klänge: Eine Geschichte der Kirchenmusik,
    >Manche schildern ihn als einen hässlichen Menschen: «Er hatte Blatternnarben im Gesicht, seine Haut wurde gelblich und gedunsen, gegen Ende seines Lebens bildete sich ein Doppelkinn. Der Kopf war zu groß für den Körper, die Nase war überdimensioniert» (Wolfgang Hildesheimer). Hinzu kam ein verstörendes Verhalten. Natürlich kann man es von heute aus nicht mehr diagnostizieren und gegenwärtig übliche Begriffe wie «Borderline», «bipolare Störung» oder «ADHS» auf es anwenden. Aber schon auf Zeitgenossen wirkte es ungesund. Ein Beispiel unter tausend: Eine Wiener Schriftstellerin erzählt, wie sie bei einer Gesellschaft am Klavier saß, als Mozart dazukam, zunächst die Melodie mitbrummte, dann den Takt auf ihrer Schulter schlug, sich einen Stuhl dazustellte, die Oberstimme übernahm und zu variieren begann – aber schließlich «ward ihm das Ding zuwider, er fuhr auf und begann in seiner närrischen Laune, wie er es öfters machte, über Tisch und Sessel zu springen, wie eine Katze zu miauen und wie ein ausgelassener Junge Purzelbäume zu schlagen».
    Translation:
    >Some describe him as an ugly man: “He had pale scars on his face, his skin became yellowish and puffy, and towards the end of his life he developed a double chin. His head was too big for his body, his nose was oversized” (Wolfgang Hildesheimer). In addition, his behavior was disturbing. Of course, it can no longer be diagnosed today and common terms such as “borderline”, “bipolar disorder” or “ADHD” can no longer be applied to it. But it already had an unhealthy effect on contemporaries. One example among a thousand: a Viennese writer recounts how she was sitting at the piano at a party when Mozart joined in, first humming along to the melody, then hitting the beat on her shoulder, pulling up a chair, taking over the upper voice and beginning to vary - but eventually “the thing became repugnant to him, he got up and in his foolish mood began, as he often did, to jump over the table and armchair, meowing like a cat and somersaulting like a boisterous boy”.

    His music is so unnatural, I never think his music is natural - including those piano concertos- and I don’t connect his music with the quality “noble”. It’s the same when talk about Hölderlin, it’s cringe to say, Hölderlin is “noble”, also, Mozart’s Requiem sounds “noble”, NO, It never appeared in my mind.
    Mozart is on another realm.
    And I don't think anyone would say God is noble. (I'm not saying Mozart is a God)
