Okay, who's Loochey?

Luchesi, who, according to a ex-gmg poster, composed most of Haydn's, Mozart's and Beethoven's works, and also some of his own.

If it looks like too much to you, there's your proof it's true.

My thesis is Loochey killed Mozart because he was overworked.

As an editor, I would take out the phrase "during his life," which is unnecessary, since the only time he could have written his works was during his life. "the cmposer, who wrote more than 600 works" is enough.

"The composer, who wrote more than 600 works during his life and several thereafter..."

"The composer, who wrote more than 600 works, eventually developed severe swelling...?"

Hmmmmmmm... Somehow, it doesn't seem much of an improvement?
