ns for hisexcessive drinking, one might have been stress.

You would be right in thinkingthat Mozart was a very hard-worker and that he always had his work finished before hehad ever started it. Yet of all the titles that Mozart had earned, mature was definitely notincluded. Mozart was indeed a partier. He loved to drink and dance and play. I thinkthat his drinking started out as a social occurrence and then it was more of a pleasure. But all to soon, Mozart would become more and more addicted to alcohol. He becamesomewhat dependent on liquor, even though it was never stated, it was obvious that hislate-night sneak-outs were associated with the stress of his work. Mozart would drinkconstantly, during a meal, and while he was writing music, which would have been howhe spent the other twenty-three hours of his day. Mozart never learned how to manage histime so that he would have time to do other things, such as spending time with his family. He also never understood that there were limits to anything. That blindness includedhis love of alcohol. The failure to ever learn these, time-management and boundaryskills, would drive him farther away from everything he wanted, his family, his work andlife. The death of young Mozart was completely unexpected and appalling to all thatknew him....
