| With his alleged lifestyle, there is no doubt in my mind. He would be
a musician. :^)

oh i dunno, K.C. - you have an image of the modern computer weenie.
Your 60's & 70's weenie would provide a nice playground for Wolfgang.
I think Karl hit it pretty good - but i don't think he'd ever find the
need to enter a sequence via step-time ^8.

| Musician, definitely.
Listen to the C Minor Mass, which is the only work not commissioned;
he wrote it as thanksgiving for his upcoming marriage to Constanze.
It's magnificent.
Can you imagine him (or anyone!) writing an equation or program to
express the same feelings?
Musician!

| There's nothing so helpless as a dead public figure. Everyone "owns" you, and
is free to predict what you would or wouldn't do, think, etcetera. Sigh- such is
fleeting fame... At least Wolfgang doesn't get resurrected in spirit for every
national election, as do some poor wraiths.
I personally think a fundamental characteristic of genius is a total disregard
for categorization of itself. It follows, then, that predicting whether he'd be
a musician, mathematician, or plain old horny dude makes no sense from my point
of view.
If I *had* to pick a label for this fine fellow, regardless of the century, I'd
try to include as many of his characteristics as possible in it- say, something
like "irrepressible magicfingers party dweeb?"

re .6 - i tried to make that point - i could definitely see him make
use of sequencing software to generate scores, from live performance
recorded from the keyboard. But that's just my own preference - i find
sequencing more like work than the normal response i get from playing
music - including practice.
