Mozart had a pet starling. And when it died he gave it a funeral and burial and wrote a poem for it that he read at the service.

Mozart had a sister who was also a genius composer, but was forced to quit her training to be more "marriageable."

I actually have a theory that I can’t prove, that perhaps a few of the pieces we attribute to Wolfgang were actually hers. Here’s why I think that…

We know they corresponded regularly after she got married and that she continued to compose and send her brother her work, and he wrote back praising her. I have a suspicion that he might have given some of her pieces to be performed, telling patrons they were his. Not to take credit, but so her music would at least be heard.

Again it’s not something I can prove, more like a headcanon thing.

Mozart was also a completely ungovernable furry with ADHD. He was a child genius, but that meant he was sitting in opera rehearsals as a bored teenager.

And when he’d get bored, he’d start finding ways to entertain himself. This included doing things like playing “the floor is lava” while using the orchestra members as platforms, and prancing around while loudly meowing.

And all of them basically put up with it, the same way that modern tour managers put up with annoying frontmen in popular bands.

I’m now working on a graphic with the following quotes:

Growing up, I was always told that you have to be careful with your words because once they leave your mouth, they belong to the world. But I think it’s the opposite. Your words belong to you until you give them away.

~ John Cena

Lick my ass.

~ W.A. Mozart

Mozart also invented a system that used dice to randomly generate music. My unverifiable theory is that he continued refining the system and it got so good that he used it to compose all his greatest hits and stopped telling anybody about his random music generator.

Pet is french for fart, and Mozart had a fart fetish. It also rhymes.
