Some have suggested that Mozart suffered from Tourette's Syndrome, characterized by verbal and/or motor "tic" outbursts.
The Mozart-had-Tourette's camp may be right, according to a study led by Melvin Lyon, research professor of biological sciences in USC College. Lyon's team sifted through sonatas by Mozart and four other composers for the musical versions of "T-patterns": highly unlikely, repeating combinations of specific notes separated by a constant time interval.
