Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27,1756 as the son of Anna-Maria and Leopold Mozart in Salzburg, Austria. Leopold and wife Anna-Maria had eight children, out of the eight Wolfgang and his sister were the only children to survive birth. At the age of five he began composing minuets and had learned how to play the clavier, the piano, the violin, and the organ very well at age six. Also at the age of six Mozart had written five short piano pieces that are often played and at age nine he composed a few symphonies. His father educated him in music and in what schools taught. He was a good sight-reader and improviser in music. He wrote sonatas for the harpsichord and the violin. At the age of twelve he wrote the ope
Leopold immediately directed them to go to Paris. When he arrived, a series of court intrigues and the exploitation of him from the court made Mozart decide to leave. He also wrote pieces for vocalists such as church music and operas. The legend that the composer Antonio Salieri murdered Mozart has no support from reputable scholars. Anna-Maria Mozart died in Paris in July 1778. Although no one knows exactly where Mozart is actually buried, there is a memorial for him in Salzburg. During his short career he has put out more than six hundred works. I in that very year Mozart married Constanze Weber; she is the sister o!f the woman he fell in love with when he traveled to Mannheim. The six hundred are made up of symphonies, divertimentos, sonatas, chamber music for a lot of instrumental combination, and concertos. He fell in love with Aloysia Weber. When Mozart commissioned and composed the opera Idomeneo, re di Creta in 1781, the archbishop was prompted to invite Mozart to his palace in Vienna. At the age of twenty-one he traveled to Mannheim which was the music capital of Europe because of their magnificent orchestra. While Mozart was at home he composed a lot of sonatas, symphonies, concertos, and two masses. Another thing that made his work so popular is that he is a combination of the clear and graceful melody of the Italians and the formal and ingenuity of the German.
