Yehudi Menuhin and Sarah Chang I grant you, but Mozart didn't handle
stardom well - he died a pauper at the age of 35...
That's an "urban myth." Mozart always had a substantial income, along
with substantial debts (like Lincoln he was afflicted with a
spendthrift wife). As a Mason (in the same lodge as Haydn) he could
always count on the friendship of many rich bourgeois Viennois. Why
his grave is unmarked remains an absolute mystery--in bad weather, his
funeral was nevertheless well attended.
