How did Mozart affect our government today and continue to do so?
One may ask how a musician may affect a government, especially if it was over three hundred years ago? Well, Mozart played a role in the creation of today's society. During his day, he truly challenged the idea of if the church was always to follow. Wolfgang Mozart pushed the creation of the freedom of speech, by breaking the barrier of only creating religious songs, but ones that sparked emotions and revolutionary ideas. He also added to the idea that everyone should be equal, by expanding music availability to audiences of commoners and aristocrats, not just the truly wealthy. We also can see that artists are allowed to create anything and we are not monitored by the Church. In our country, we have a separation of church and state. Mozart also sparked ideas for other composers and philosophers, whose ideas may have shaped governments or leaders. Modern-day society has also been impacted by this amazing composer and musician, by creating new styles of music. This creation of new styles of music impacts our government by allowing merging of ideas and cultures in music to help better unite us and spread our ideas. I have no doubt that Mozart will forever continue to impact our society in more ways than we know.
