Mozart
Yekaterina Todika Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptized in Salzburg Cathedral on the day after his birth as Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus. The first and last given names come from his godfather Joannes Theophilus Pergmayr, although Mozart preferred the Latin form of this last name, Amadeus, more often Amade, or the Italiano Amadeo. Whatever the case may be, he rarely-if ever-used Theophilus in his signature. The name Chrysostomus originates from St. John Chrysostom, whose feast falls on the 27th of January. The name Wolfgang was given to him in honor of his maternal grandfather, Wolfgang Nikolaus Pertl. He was the seventh and last child born to musical author, composer and violinist, Leopold Mozart and his wife Anna Maria Pertl. Only Wolfgang and Maria Anna (whose nickname was 'Nannerl') survived infancy. He was born in a house in the Hagenauersches Haus in Salzburg, Austria, on the 27th of January, 1756. The paternal ancestry of the family !has been traced back with some degree of certainty to Fndris Motzhart, who lived in the Augsburg area in 1486; the name is first recorded, for a Heinrich Motxhart in Fischach, in 1331, and appears in other villages south-west of Augsburg, notably Heimberg,
During the carnival of 1773 the work was performed a staggering 26 times. This incomparable feat soon became the subject of awed whispers in Roma. His music is heard in TV commercials and he has entered our pop mythology as !the crass innocent of Peter Schaeffer's Amadeus. It was, therefore, with a yearning heart that 7 Wolfgang dream of escaping from Salzburg. Below it Leopold jotted: "This piece was learned by Walfgangerl on 24 January 1791, 3 days before his 5th birthday, between 9 and 9:30 in the evening". He was now twenty years old-child prodigy no longer. Moreover, his musical labor at the Court of the Archbishop was an endless humiliation. As young Mozart's reputation grew, his father realized the financial opportunities then could arise from increased exposure of his son's talents. Later ones are better served-Leopold was a proli!fic correspondent and also kept travel diaries. The newspapers commented upon then "rarest musical grace" and that "studied beauty" which seemed to be Wolfgang's intuitive idiom. From than time! on, Wolfgang and his sister spent much of their childhood traveling through Europe. According to Norbert Elias, it took all of thirty minutes for Mozart to master his first musical composition. At the age of four, he could reproduce on the piano a melody played to him; at five, he could play violin with perfect intonation.
