Mozart mathematics

[Shrunk]

For any Mozart composition, take the K number, divide by 25, add 10 and you'll get the age at which he composed it.  It only works for K nos. over 100, but try it.

[Mozart]

k. 364 was written when Mozart was 23. 364/25=14ish 14.5ish more or less so he wrote it when he was 24 and a half?


K. 527 was written in 1787 so thats...527/25=21+10=31 Hey this time it actually worked!

Ok 1 more K. 387 was in 1783. 387/25=15.5ish and Mozart was 27.

number juggling, this is where all the crazy theories originated...

[BachQ]

Requiem K 626:

626/25 = 25
25+10 = 35

Correct!

[Gurn Blanston]

The reason it usually works is because he was so consistent in his output over the years. Not some big number mystery, but a testament to his productivity. No long blank spots...
