Beethoven's acceptance
into Viennese society by mid 1790's marked the beginning of his peak. He was readily accepted by a remorseful Vienna over the recent death of Mozart (1791). The nobles were now making sure that a composer, a protege of Haydn no less (and Haydn brought him to Vienna because of his own griefs over Mozart's death), would not again have to deal with money problems. So, in effect, Mozart paved the way for Beethoven's success. Mozart was a free-lance artist who had much disdain for the patronage system, much to the chagrin of his father. And, oh, what a price he paid.
