There's this wonderful passage in in Shaw's letters when he expressed the same opinion: >By all means put Mozart in his place; but don't be led into thinking that it was not a very high place. And don't read his scores; sing and hear them. If you look at his blessed old dominant sevenths,they will never be anything but dominant sevenths to you. If you listen to them only, you will sometimes find yourself going to the score to find what a strange chord it is you have heard, and being astonished and infuriated to find that it is as plain and platitudinous a seventh on paper as anything in "When Other Lips."
