Mozart's compositions are renowned for their melodic beauty, formal elegance, and rich harmonies, earning him a place among the greatest composers of all time. His operas, such as "Le nozze di Figaro" and "Don Giovanni," remain staples of the operatic repertoire, while his symphonies and piano concertos continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
