looking for easy info on style

[Bob]

Where do I find all this analysis of style?  I've looked.

I want to know things like this -- I've heard Mozart tends to start his melodies on the 5th step of the scale.  That gives his music a lighter feel.

Just a basic, simple description.

Where do I find more of the just a laymusician's description of a composer's style.  Hopefully with specific examples to back up ideas -- like having some of Mozart's melodies that start on the 5th step from the above example.
