Lebow, Richard Ned. “If Mozart Had Died at Your Age: Psychologic Versus Statistical Interence.” Political Psychology 27, no. 2 (April 2006): 157–72. doi:10.1111/j.1467-9221.2006.00466.x.
The article highlights that Mozart died at age 65, and there was no holocaust or World War that happened. The strengths of the article include dissecting the impact that Mozart had in his life as well as if any differences would arise if Mozart died at a younger age. It means that age has no significant relationship to societal impacts. The article is effective for this study because it helps understand Mozart's personality and links it to psychological disorders. Hence, the reason why the article was selected.
Lockwood, Lewis. “Beethoven before 1800: The Mozart Legacy.” Beethoven Forum (University of Nebraska Press) 3, no. 1 (January 1994): 39. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=sso&db=aph& AN=6448540&site=ehost-live&scope=site.
The article discusses Beethoven's two pieces of work, which helped shape his artistic development. One exciting bit of the piece is the fact that Beethoven, before 1800, had been groomed to be the new Mozart or, in other cases, to be referred to as the second Mozart. The reason for such grooming is that Mozart had a legacy that many wanted to uphold, hence grooming Beethoven. In the process, Beethoven was groomed to be more than a keyboard prodigy but a budding composer. The article is selected for use based on the need for another Mozart and bringing out Beethoven through grooming. It will help strengthen the paper, especially in sections like a literature review.
Majno, Maria. “‘Prima La Musica, O Le Parole?’: A Web of Words to Surround Mozart’s Music.” FontesArtisMusicae 58, no. 1 (January 2011): 16–23. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=sso&db=aph& AN=60147548&site=ehost-live&scope=site.
The text is a composition to express the different methods and styles of Mozart's music, especially from the ten countries that Mozart visited. The text expresses his musical style and methodologies of play, which is essential in determining whether Mozart had a legacy. It also depicts the networking connections that Mozart created through his music. Mozart had an ease in composing the music, translating to a summary of his work being an art of genius. The rationale for selecting the article is to understand Mozart's musical composition and style. Hence, it will be used in strengthening the research section that talks about Mozart's music.
Noorduin, Marten. “Instrumental Music in an Age of Sociability: Haydn, Mozart and Friends.” Music Analysis 42, no. 1 (March 2023): 152–58. doi:10.1111/musa.12203.
The text focuses on eighteenth-century music and how it influenced sociability. Sociability, in this case, refers to the ability to connect or invoke the social happenings of society. Composers like Mozart and Haydn could express human social behavior through their music and social injustices at that time. The article is essential because it looks at different work that Mozart does in sociability. Using the theme of sociability, this article will be used to strengthen and improve on the arguments about how music created sociability during Mozart's time.
Nagel, Julie Jaffee. “Melodies of the Mind: Mozart in 1778.” American Imago 64, no. 1 (Spring 2007): 23–36. doi:10.1353/aim.2007.0016.
The text focuses on expressing the relationship that Mozart had with his mother. Mozart was on a trip to Paris with his mother, Anna Maria, who died in 1778. The compositions of 1778 show how the mental life of Mozart was affected, especially after the death of his mother. It creates an understanding of how music has a relationship to psychoanalysis. The article is important since it brings out two main aspects: the relationship that Mozart had with his mother and the mental life of Mozart. It will strengthen the literature review section, especially when discussing the psychoanalysis disorder that Mozart faced, hence the reason for selection.

Irony is a stylistic device that is used in poetry and even in music. In this book, the main focus is on musical irony and its impact on composition. It starts by explaining musical irony and later detailing the 12 different ironies that can be used in music. The strength of the text is in case studies that are used to explain how composers applied...
