[A]He also empathized with Mozart’s ability to continue to compose magnificent music even in very difficult and impoverished conditions. In 1905, the year he discovered relativity, Einstein was living in a cramped apartment and dealing with a difficult marriage and money troubles. That spring he wrote four papers that were destined to change the course of science and nations. His ideas on space and time grew in part from aesthetic discontent. It seemed to him that asymmetries in physics concealed essential beauties of nature; existing theories lacked the"architecture"and"inner unity" he found in the music of Bach and Mozart.
[B]From 1902 to 1909, Einstein was working six days a week at a Swiss patent office and doing physics research in his spare time. But he was also nourished by music, particularly Mozart. And just as Mozart’s antics shocked his contemporaries, Einstein pursued a notably Bohemian life in his youth. His studied indifference to dress and mane of dark hair, along with his love of music and philosophy, made him seem more poet than scientist. He played the violin with passion and often performed at musical evenings.
[C]As a boy Einstein did poorly in school. Music was an outlet for his emotions. At 5, he began violin lessons but soon found the drills so trying that he threw a chair at his teacher, who ran out of the house in tears. At 13, he discovered Mozart’s sonatas. The result was an almost mystical connection, said Hans Byland, a friend of Einstein’s from high school. "When his violin began to sing, "Mr. Byland told the biographer Carl Seelig, "the walls of the room seemed to recede—for the first time, Mozart in all his purity appeared before me, bathed in Hellenic beauty with its pure lines, roguishly playful, mightily sublime. "
[D]In his struggles with extremely complicated mathematics that led to the general theory of relativity of 1915, Einstein often turned for inspiration to the simple beauty of Mozart’s music. "Whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music, "recalled his older son, Hans Albert. "That would usually resolve all his difficulties. "In the end, Einstein felt that in his own field he had, like Mozart, succeeded in unraveling the complexity of the universe.
[E]Einstein once said that while Beethoven created his music, Mozart’s "was so pure that it seemed to have been ever-present in the universe, waiting to be discovered by the master. "Einstein believed much the same of physics, that beyond observations and theory lay the music of the spheres—which, he wrote, revealed a " pre-established harmony" exhibiting stunning symmetries. The laws of nature, such as those of relativity theory, were waiting to be plucked out of the cosmos by someone with a sympathetic ear. Thus it was less laborious calculation, but "pure thought "to which Einstein attributed his theories. Einstein was fascinated by Mozart and sensed an affinity between their creative processes, as well as their histories.

inspired an outburst of symposiums, concerts, essays and merchandise featuring Albert Einstein. This year, the same treatment is being given to another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born on Jan. 27, 250 years ago.
[G]Though a Classical giant, Mozart helped lay groundwork for the Romantic with its less precise structures. Similarly, Einstein’s theories of relativity completed the era of classical physics and paved the way for atomic physics and its ambiguities. Like Mozart’s music, Einstein’s work is a turning point.
