Yes.
I think that Mozart and Haydn are quite alike but Haydn said that in 100 years there will never be another as great as Mozart !
They were both composers during the Classical era, and both were symbolic of that era. At one point, Beethoven was travelling to Vienna to meet Mozart, who was fourteen years older than Beethoven, but was forced to return home after his mother was taken-ill. If the two had met then there's no way of knowing what the two could have achieved.
Beethoven and Mozart were two different people.
Both Beethoven and Brahms were German composers and concert pianists. Both of these composers are considered as innovated in musical forms regarded to orchestra. Compositions of these two were for gigantic orchestras in comparison to symphonies of Mozart, Haydn etc.
Famous German composers can be counted by the dozens, but if you want to name just two, you can mention Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johann Sebastian Bach.

Strauss, Mozart
Beethoven is known as a composer who spanned the Classical and Romantic periods because his early works adhered to the classical traditions of composers like Haydn and Mozart, while his later compositions introduced emotional depth, innovative structures, and expanded harmonic language characteristic of the Romantic era. His ability to blend these styles allowed him to bridge the gap between the two periods, influencing countless composers who followed. Additionally, his personal struggles with deafness and his quest for artistic expression further exemplified the Romantic ideals of individualism and emotional intensity.
My guess is Haydn and Schubert. (Beethoven was from Bonn in the Rhineland, Mozart was born in independent Salzburg).
Haydn is famous as the Father of Symphonies with his 104 compositions in the genre. Mozart wrote 41 symphonies and more than 30 concertos (27 of them to piano and orchestra). These two composers are credited for development in the symphony and classical concerto.
This is a very good question to ask. Someone at one point or another has asked what the difference is between these two composers. Well I think I can help you out with this. For one, Mozart is very radical and out there. He would have been the Trent Reznor of his time, whereas Beethoven would have been the Justin Timberlake of his time. Mozart is very spontaneous and outspoken. _____ Beethoven's music was considered to be radical and he was accused of endangering the morals of young women by arousing their passions with his music. Beethoven also had the advantage of the recently invented pianoforte. The movies "Amadeus" and "Immortal Beloved" might give an insight into both of these classical heavyweights.
There are two well-known composers from classical and romantic periods. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-91) was died at age 35. Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was died at age 31.
