Wiki: Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor
He was Mozart's patron and famously remarked w/r/t
The Marriage of Figaro
too many notes, Mozart
.
Generally percieved to have been a
blockhead comment, he was, in fact,
echoing what nearly everybody,
including his admirers, said about Mozart:
he was so imaginative that he couldn't turn it off,
and that made his music at times intense, even demonic.
