Mozart's great.
Nobody's going to try to argue with you about his genius, his compositions, or his body of work as a whole.
And obviously, technical fluff does not apply to all his work, as you delineated.
I don't know if you ever played any instruments, but FarrahWaters and I were (I think) speaking from experience as students...
For me, I would get to these passages and there are so many notes, arpeggios, embellishments, that it felt like it was detracting from the piece, the melody, the phrasing.
Sometimes I wonder if, similar to what you said, he was bored and sort of playing jokes on the rest of us...just to keep himself interested.
