32. Mozart’s Weird Anal Obsession

Musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791) started composing and performing before royalty when he was only five years old. By the time he died thirty years later, he had cemented his place in history as one of the classical era’s most prolific and influential composers, with a legacy that still influences Western music to this day.

Mozart created about 600 compositions, many of which are considered to be the pinnacles of classical music. He also impacted subsequent music heavyweights such as Hayden and Beethoven. For somebody whose star burned so bright before he died so young, it is perhaps not surprising that Mozart was a freak beneath the sheets. Part of that freakiness manifested itself in a weird anal fixation.
