The fact that so many books still name Mozart as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" classical composer ever only tells you how far classical music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Rock critics rank the highly controversial Velvet Underground over rock musicians who were highly popular among teenage girls around Europe. Classical critics are still blinded by concert hall success. Mozart is played more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore he must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, rock critics grow up listening to a lot of rock music of the past. Classical critics are often totally ignorant of the classical music outside the top 40, they barely know their lesser known pieces. No wonder they will think that Mozart did anything worthy of being saved. In a sense, Mozart is emblematic of the status of classical criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to performance and score worship (be it symphonies or Wagner) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no maestro picks him up and performs his music in a concert hall, a lot of classical critics will ignore him. If a major symphony orchestra picks up a composer who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of classical criticism: classical critics are basically publicists working for major labels, orchestras, and opera halls. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.
 
Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Hans Rott, who was never performed much, and products of social circles like Mozart. At such a time, classical critics will study their classical history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited their social circles.

Muzio Clementi is another one from Mozart's generation who gets a bit overlooked. I much prefer his sonatas over Mozart.
That's not to say Mozart didn't have his moments. He shines in his humorous operas, his final symphonies are quite good, and the Romanze, the middle movement from his piano concerto no.20 is one of my favourite piano concertante compositions.
However, the vast majority of his output is frankly mediocre. Dude didn't care much about quality. It makes no sense to focus on Mozart so much.

In Dresden, Wien und München trampelt der ungeimpfte Pöbel durch die Straßen als gehörten sie ihm. Mit seiner Ignoranz und roher Gewalt will er sich zur Stimme des Volkes erklären. Ich aber sage euch: Wer gegen eine demokratisch gewählte Regierung demonstriert, ist ein Feind der Demokratie, ein Feind der Wissenschaft, ein Feind der Vernunft und ein Feind der Menschheit! Es ist eine kleine, umgeimpfte, hasserfüllte Clique, die das Virus unter die Menschen bringt! Aber glaubt mir, liebe Mitbürger: Wir werden vor diesem mörderischen Ansturm der Dummen keinen Millimeter weichen. Wir werden Abstand halten, wir werden unser Masken tragen und wir verden bis zum letzten Tropfen Vakzin impfen! Deshalb, meine tapferen Impflinge: Die Masken auf, die Reihen weit gelichtet, die Nadeln hoch mit eiserner Spitz'! Schon bald wird Omikron die Betten und Flure der Krankenhäuser mit dem Winseln und Schnaufen der Schwurbler füllen. Ja, in jeder Straße wird man ihr reumütiges Röcheln hören und sie werden sterben wie die Fliegen. Euch aber, die ihr Kanzlertreu und geboostert seid, wird das Leben in Fülle gegeben werden! Impfschallah!

öffentlichkeitswirksamen Demonstrationen sind jedoch nur der sichtbarste Ausdruck einer verbreiteten Unzufriedenheit in der Bevölkerung. Das sächsische Gemüt ist eben nicht so gemütlich, wie man im Freistaat gern kolportiert. „Schon wieder Sachsen!“, seufzen nicht wenige Sachsen selbst. Politikwissenschaftler Hans Vorländer von der Technischen Universität Dresden sprach einmal von einem beleidigten Grundgestus der Sachsen – dem trotzigen Gefühl, immer zu kurz zu kommen, vom Einigeln.
 
Man kann dieses Gefühl aus den Traumata der militärischen Niederlagen im 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts sowie aus dem erheblichen Gebiets- und europäischen Bedeutungsverlust nach dem Wiener Kongress 1815 herleiten. Das daraus resultierende Bedürfnis nach Anerkennung ist bis heute ebenso spürbar wie eine latente Aggressivität.
 
Solche kollektiven Neurosen führen zu den nur scheinbar widersprüchlichen Extremen von besonderem Opportunismus einerseits und Renitenz andererseits. Sachsen war besonders braun und besonders rot im 20. Jahrhundert und ist besonders blau in der Gegenwart. „Mit wem ich marschiere, ist mir egal, Hauptsache, ich werde meinen Frust los“, sagen sich viele einfache Sachsen.
 
Die Impffrage hat zu einer weiteren Verschärfung des Reizklimas geführt. Wie zuvor schon an rechtsnationalistischen Trends oder am Umgang mit Flüchtlingen ablesbar, zieht sich ein immer tieferer Graben durch das Land. Der Disput über den angemessenen Umgang mit der Pandemie führt zu einer weiteren Polarisierung. Kollegen-, Freundes- und Familienkreise zerfallen in Lager.
 
Sogar in den Künsten, bei Profi- und Laienensembles oder in der Literatenszene brodeln die Konflikte über eine gegenseitig unterstellte Ausgrenzung und Bevormundung. In Behörden und Institutionen werden sie mühsam unter dem Radar der Öffentlichkeit gehalten, offizielle Bestätigungen gibt es kaum.
 
Ein kalter Bürgerkrieg ist im Gange. Weniger denn je darf man in toto von „den Sachsen“ sprechen. Vernünftige, die sich noch unter Kontrolle haben, verabschieden sich um des Friedens willen ganz aus dem Diskurs und stecken den Kopf in den Sand. Andere feiern „Bekehrte“ wie den eigentlich ins Wutbürgermilieu abgedrifteten Kabarettisten Uwe Steimle, der sich nun doch impfen ließ. Wer soll diesen Laden noch zusammenhalten?

Warum die Taliban nun die Flüge verhindern, ist unklar. Beobachter vermuten, dass die Talibanführung einen Braindrain verhindern will. Hilfsorganisationen berichten stattdessen, dass die Taliban mittlerweile Rache nehmen an ihren vermeintlichen Gegnern. Laut Human Rights Watch haben die Taliban in den letzten Monaten rund 100 Polizei- und Geheimdienstangehörige getötet oder verschwinden lassen.
