Beethoven vs. Mozart

I think that a major difference between these two giants is that Mozart is inspiring aesthetically while Beethoven is inspiring ideologically. Of course Beethoven is inspiring aesthetically too, but his works such as "Ode to Joy", "Egmont", "Eroica" and "Wellingtons Sieg" have extreme ideological messages. I am not saying that Mozart's works were not ideological--The Magic Flute, the Marriage of Figaro, etc. preached the Gospel of the Enlightenment but they had to be somewhat masked still for the time whereas Beethoven's works could be more openly nationalistic and liberal due to the climate created by Napoleon.
