The ‘Adult Child’ Mozart

Mozart was an ‘adult child’ whose mental growth stopped at the lovable child prodigy stage. However, his musical self was as mature as the most experienced musicians. His life was a paradox created by these two very different selves, which is why there’s an inexplicable sadness to his life.

The term ‘old soul’ exists for a reason. Though their body may be young or immature, they have innate talent and a deep soul, drawing infinite inspiration from that profound well. This is a trait seen in outstanding artists. It’s the reason we see Mozart, the ‘adult child,’ in a new light.
