Where it comes from

Borrowed from German Mozart. First recorded in the 14th century as Middle High German Mozahrt, from motzen (“to roll in filth”); originally used as a given name with the -hart suffix, as a name for dirty or sloppy people.

noun Mozarts

  1. By analogy with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a musical virtuoso. One child is a Mozart with a flying start, while another foots it, and makes little way; but the course is the same, being set by the object.
  2. By extension, a virtuoso in any field. There is a Mozart of competitive eating who is yet to reveal himself.

proper noun Mozarts

  1. A surname from German; (music) used specifically of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. How do we know what we think we know about Mozart? And why is he still the most popular composer of the western classical tradition? He is one of the most written-about, dissected and mythologised composers in the history of western music.
  2. A locality in the Oberon council area, eastern New South Wales, Australia.
