I can't see Mozart being a rapper. He might try it but he'd probably spend=
most of his time writing for films (comedies mainly) while being the most =
outrageous performer! He was, after all, a great fun-lover.

Beethoven would be the John Williams while Wagner would write for all those=
12-hour art films.
