Mozart might well have retired if he got rich, the way Shakespeare did. But there's no way that he was capable of writing dreck. So I'm definitely going with Mozart on this. I would sacrifice the later years of pretty much anyone who's ever lived, except Bach, in order to get more years out of Mozart.

Who knows, he could have had burnout and started writing drinking songs for the lute or something!
