Mozart was one of the most popular and well-compensated musical superstars of his age. He was literally famous all across Europe before he even turned 10, to the point that Beethoven's father specifically trained his young son in an effort to turn him into "the next Mozart." Terrible example.

1. Shut the fuck up, Stalin tp, nobody other than you "considers" that to be the case and you're a notoriously insane dumb faggot.

2. Bach was thrown in jail for a few weeks for being sassy to government officials, not for "losing a promotion to some other dude" which wouldn't even fucking make sense.

3. Bach also didn't "lose a promotion to some other dude," first he turned down Buxtehude's job because he didn't want to marry his ugly ass daughter (which was literally a condition of accepting the position), and then he was considered the 2nd best candidate for the Leipzig job which he ultimately ended up being offered and accepting after Telemann turned them down (which in retrospect was stupid, but Telemann was also a genius-level musician who we still remember hundreds of years later so yeah it's not as embarrassing as people try to make it out to be).

4. Bach was widely revered as the greatest organist in Europe during his own lifetime, and was renowned all across Central Europe for his skills. He was also widely respected as a composer of genius, even though his music was considered "old fashioned" by the end of his life.

5. The whole "Bach was forgotten after his death" thing is one great big Jewish lie designed to make (((Mendlessohn))) look like a hero for "rediscovering" Bach in 1829. Unfortunately, the whole claim falls apart upon even the most cursory inspection. Bach was so forgotten that everyone from Mozart to Beethoven to Chopin to Schumann spent time studying his works and writing fugues (inspired by Bach) *before* Mendlessohn "rediscovered" him, and btw Chopin did this in fucking Warsaw which was an absolute shithole backwater back in the 1820s. Wow, thooooo forgotten! Thanks for the "rediscovery," Jews!

6. In summary, everything you wrote here is wrong and retarded and you should probably kill yourself.

If I told you I like Mozart better than Bach does that make me an enormous fag in your view?

It's very uncommon, but it does happen and it isn't limited to Van Gogh.

Schubert was highly respected and beloved by a small group of friends and admirers in Vienna during his lifetime, but he was basically unknown outside of that circle; he had absolutely no international reputation at all; he was always dirt poor as an adult (he couldn't even afford to own a piano); he only managed to publish a small handful of his works during his lifetime (and almost none of his major large scale instrumental works made it into publication); and he gave just one single public concert featuring his own original music (which he gave at the very end of his life and which was totally overshadowed by Paganini coming into town for the first time a few days later) before his death at the age of 31.

Schubert was sufficiently unknown to the general music-loving public that even in the mid 1820s, a music publisher to whom he had submitted some musical manuscripts for consideration apparently mailed them back to the wrong Franz Schubert, because that was the only composer named "Franz Schubert" that the publisher have ever heard of.

Having said that, had Schubert lived even another five years, there's good reason to believe that things might very well have turned around for him -- especially since Beethoven had just died 18 months earlier and the Viennese music publishers were actively looking for "the next Beethoven" when Schubert suddenly got sick and died.

George Bizet is another good example -- he had written like two very modestly successful operas before he wrote "Carmen," but he was essentially all-but-unknown composer who still supported himself doing musical hack work when "Carmen" premiered in 1875. "Carmen" initially flopped, and in a state of depression Bizet died just a few months later. It was only in the wake of his death that "Carmen" was suddenly reappraised and became the massive hit that it has remained ever since, and it was only thanks to "Carmen" becoming a hit that some of the other instrumental masterpieces Bizet wrote earlier in his career were rediscovered. Bizet saw almost no success in his own lifetime.

I for one would put Santeria and What I Got on the same level as Ave Maria and Toreador.
