My Idol...

Okay, I admit that this is a REALLY old picture but I just remembered it. Can you guess who it is? I'll give you a few hints:
-He lived in the 18th century
-Played viola (like me!) as well as violin
-Wrote his first piece at 4, his first symphony at 7 and his first opera at 12
-There is a saying that God's angels play Bach but in secret they prefer this composer...
-He wrote a Requiem which is considered to be the best piece ever written
-He died at 35 years old of unknown cause and no one knows where he was buried
-He sometimes called himself Trazom
-His wife's name is Constanze
-Everyone has heard of him
-(this is the give-away if you haven't realized already...) His name starts with the letter M

After a Dream (A French Song)

This is a beautiful musical piece that is sung in French or is played on viola (I'm playing it now). It is about a woman who wakes up and finds that the dream in which she is reunited with her love is a lie. She desperately begs the dream to return, asking at the end "Reviens! Reviens! Reviens!!!". This piece is very emotional and I tried to convey that in this portrait of the woman.
