No, you're way off. It's because Mozart was deaf and Carlsen is also deaf. Usually whenever someone is deaf, they call them the Mozart of that thing.
In fact Beethovan was known as the Mozart of Germany.
so does that mean I am the Mozart of the Perth ?

Carlsen admits that he doesn't really care too much about the openings. Not a big deal, but does anyone think this is why he avoids match play?
Kavalek called him the Mozart of chess in January 2004 and later explained it like this:
The moniker occurred to me when I was looking for a subhead for Magnus's great game against Sipke Ernst in Wijk aan Zee in 2004. It was a fresh, beautiful, imaginative masterpiece, created with lightness and ease, something Mozart might have composed in music at the age of six. Magnus was 13.
