mozart

i'm listening to mozart's clarinet quintet in A. i find it hard to articulate my thoughts on mozart's music. as much as i am moved by bach and beethoven et al, there something unique about mozart. is it mathematical perfection? when listening to a mozart work that i have never heard, it is almost as if i can predict what note is coming next. like the music was whole and perfect, written before time, and mozart just discovered it.
