ideals of music. Its strong sounds exude the composer’s ability in not only his genre but

today as well. His musical abilities were developed at an early age and were utilized to

Mozart, who predicted that he would become a great composer. Ironically, Beethoven

would later be compared to such composer’s as Mozart and Haydn.
