Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart vs. Maurice Sendak
Side-by-side comparison of two thinkers
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
1756 – 1791
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a Classical composer and musician. In his brief life, he completed more than 800 works including outstanding examples of most of the genres of his time: symphonies, concertos, chamber music, opera, and choral music.
"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
Maurice Sendak
1928 – 2012
Maurice Bernard Sendak was an American author and illustrator of children's books. Born to Polish-Jewish parents, his childhood was impacted by the death of many of his family members during the Holocaust. Sendak illustrated his own books as well as those by other authors, such as the Little Bear series by Else Holmelund Minarik.
"And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all."
