Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or commonly called Mozart, was born in Salzburg, Austria, January 27, 1756 and died in Vienna, Austria, December 5, 1791.
Mozart is considered one of the most important and most famous classical music composers in history.
Admired for the Beauty of His Works
This talented and extraordinary composer's music is admired for "the beauty of his melodies, his formal elegance, and his richness of harmony and texture".
His works are around 800 songs, including compositions that are widely recognized as the pinnacle of symphonic music, chamber music, piano music, opera music, and choral music.
Many of Mozart's works are considered standard repertoire of classical concerts and are recognized as masterpieces of classical music. His works are listed in the Köchel-Verzeichnis catalogue.
Extraordinary Ability from Childhood
Born in Salzburg, then in the Holy Roman Empire and now in Austria, Mozart showed extraordinary ability from early childhood.
Already competent on the keyboard and violin, he composed songs by the age of five and performed before European royalty.
His father took him on a tour of Europe and then on three trips to Italy. By the age of 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court.
Reaching the Peak of Fame
Being a musician at the court did not make him restless. However, he became restless and traveled in search of a better position.
While visiting Vienna in 1781, Mozart was dismissed from his post in Salzburg. The peak of Mozart's career was between 1784-1786.
While living in Vienna, Mozart achieved great fame, but little financial security.
During his final years there, before his death, he composed many of his most famous symphonies, concertos, and operas. (*)
