Did Einstein listen to Mozart? Why did Einstein love Mozart?

Yes, Einstein was a huge admirer of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The love affair with Mozart began when Einstein was around thirteen. It was the Violin Sonatas that really became favorite works for Einstein which he played throughout his life.

The Sonata K. 301 in E minor was reportedly one of his most loved and enjoyed. According to Einstein, Mozart’s music “was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master”.

Einstein saw Mozart as a kind of musical physicist and held similar views of his own work in physics, which revealed the “pre-established harmony” of the cosmos.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period whose composition resulted in more than 800 works of virtually every genre of his time.

In 1781, Mozart moved to Vienna, where he achieved great success as a composer and performer. Mozart’s most famous works include the operas “The Marriage of Figaro” (1786), “Don Giovanni” (1787), and “The Magic Flute” (1791).
