Favorite Mozart Work: I just don't really like Mozart at all.

No! Her soul is lost... The Wagnerites tricked her...

How many symphonies did Mozart write?: 40 something

There are several answers, but the one I was hoping for was 40 and a 1/4, since he wrote the first movement of "No.37" while the rest is by Michael Haydn.

Favorite Beethoven Work: Don't particularly know--piano sonatas? Sorry for all these ambiguous answers

My dear, you need to trash this notion that "mainstream" composers aren't worth listening to. The fact is that they are famous for very good reasons

Beethoven's "Wellington's Victory" is pro or con Napoleon?: pro

What? He wrote it AFTER the "Eroica", which would mean he was con-Napoleon

Antonio Salieri's pupils include: Schubert and Liszt, true or false? false

Oh! Hard blow in Salieri's face! It's TRUE. Beethoven was also a pupil.

Favorite Czech Composer: Sylvie Bodorova

Whatever happened to Dvorak?

Favorite String Quartet: Not the Trout. I can tell you that for certain.

The "Trout" is a QUINtet, and it is a PIANO Quintet...and it happens to be my favorite Quintet after Dvorak's Piano Quintet I thought you liked Schubert...
