No dia 5 de dezembro de 1791 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart entrou no céu, como um artista de circo, fazendo piruetas extraordinarias sobre um mirabolante cavalo branco. Os anjinhos atônitos diziam: Que foi? Que não foi? Melodias jamais ouvidas voavam nas linhas suplementares superiores da pauta. Um momento se suspendeu a contemplação inefável. A Virgem beijou-o na testa E desde então Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart foi o mais moço dos anjos.
