"The 'good old time' is gone, in Mozart we hear its swan song. How fortunate we are that his rococo still speaks to us, this his 'good company,' his tender enthusiasms, his childlike delight in curlicues and Chinese touches, his courtesy of the heart, his longing for the graceful, those in love, those dancing, those easily moved to tears, his faith in the south, may still appeal to some residue in us."
--Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil (Thanks to Rick Brookhiser for the timely reference.)
