Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

 

        Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the greatest composers ever born. He stands at the summit of human achievment. With no exceptions, musicans and music lovers say that Mozart was a genius. Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. He began playing the piano at 4, and when he was 5 years old, he already composed serious music. 

     Then the prodigy ripened into genius. Mozart's fame was great. But then he suddenly fell from favour and the genius was forgotten. Mozart died in 1791, when he was only 35 years old. There's a legend that Mozart was poisoned by his rival composer Antonio Salieri. 

      His works include 41 symphonies, nearly 30 piano concertos, 19 operas, a vast quantity of orchestral and other instrumental music, and volumes of church music.

        With no exceptions, musicians and music lovers say that Mozart was a genius.
