The Wonderment of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756 and died in Vienna in 1791. This extraordinary Austrian composer was also a keyboard player, conductor, violinist and violist.

His father, Leopold, wasted no time in starting his son’s musical education. Wolfgang learned the klavier (clavier) from the age of three, and composition from the age of five.

In 1764, Mozart took composition lessons in London from J.C. Bach. It was around this time that Mozart wrote his first three symphonies.

Mozart wrote so much music in so little time. He was not a revolutionary composer in the way that Beethoven was. His stood stands apart due to his melodic gifts, superior craftsmanship and a wonderful sense of balance and form that he constantly realized in his compositions.

An Amazing Mozart Fact

No one knows where Wolfgang is buried. He hadn’t saved enough money for a proper burial for himself.
