It's interesting that this question has been posed, because there is a startling similarity between the beginning of the third movement of the Beethoven and the beginning of the finale of the Mozart. Check it out and you'll see that it's actually the same tune (i. e., the same intervals), only in different keys and rhythms. It involves only the first two measures, and I've heard that Mozart and Beethoven met once and acknowledged the similarity, but it's unknown whether it was intentional (on Beethoven's part, of course) or merely coincidental. Beethoven's 5th came out long after Mozart's death. And there isn't too much similarity in the styles. Mozart's work is essentially Classical and Beethoven's is essentially early Romantic. There really is no comparison.
