Morphology

Mozartean = Mozart (transparent) = Mozart + ean

Formed from the proper name 'Mozart' plus the productive adjectival suffix '-ean', so the meaning 'relating to Mozart' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Mozartean comes from the name Mozart and the ending -ean, a simple way to say 'related to' or 'in the style of', as in Shakespearean. So, something Mozartean means it has Mozart's style — often clear, graceful, and full of melody.
