According to Goethe, «you have to be young to do great things».
This is in many ways true, as Ludwig van Beethoven captured a youthful rebellious spirit in his Prometheus Overture. At the age of only 19, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was in his prime when he composed his Violin Concerto N° 3. As for Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, childhood memories of a trip to Scotland inspired his Third Symphony: «No one thinks they can overcome the first impressions of youth».
