Classic FM ranks Mozart as the #2 all time greatest classical music composer, behind only Bach. Despite writing such ‘high brow’ music, Mozart himself was anything but elegant. In fact, the 1984 Academy Award winning film, “Amadeus,” portrayed him as being downright coarse, which is supported by historical accounts of the maestro. Watch the clip below:

For a processional, how about “The Wedding March” from The Marriage of Figaro?
