Mozart
The guy never erased a note. Gotta admire someone who wastes no ink.
His classical compositions are not only technically amazing but amazingly popular. I never liked opera until I had to study Don Giavonni (spelling) in college. ALl I can say is that Mozart knew how to make opera both interesting and accessable while being musical masterpieces at the same time.
Critics might poo-poo popularity, but there is something to be said for being able to create music with such universal appeal. Especially when a genius creates art which has such a wide audience. 99 times out of 100 geniuses are so disconnected from reality and the common man that their work is only enjoyed by an elite minority who are extreme fans of the art already.
