Leopold Mozart moved to Salzburg in 1737, when he was only 18. Leopold arrived to enroll in a university, although the beginning was quite remarkable, he was expelled for carelessness in his studies. After that unfortunate event Leopold instantly found music, and that's where he'd begin to dedicate his time. Six years after he was expelled he was accepted into the, "court orchestra". On November 21st, 1747 Leopold married Anna Maria Pertl. Sixteen years after he was accepted into the court orchestra, in 1763, he was promoted to Kapellmeister the highest position he was to occupy. Leopold and Anna Maria had seven children, but only two survived birth. Those fortunate two were Maria Anna Walburga Ignatia and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And here begins the story of a man's life surrounded by music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was first noticed at age three, playing the clavier with massive amounts of pleasure. He began to play the clavier at age three, and became an expert at it by age five. He was a child prodigy. Mozart began composing on February 9th, 1784. He kept a journal to categorize and keep a list of all the music he'd created. His very first symphony was composed at age 8, and was played in E flat major. People often made certain he was indeed that good at playing the keyboard, by letting Mozart glance at a piece of work, and play it. He startled everyone by mastering every work. Mozart was definetly among the finest composers of all time. Many different artists composed hundreds of works, and lived to be 50-80 years old, yet Mozart created just as many and died at age 35. His cause-of-death is still unknown to us today, but what we do know is that he was a child prodigy and surely one of the most respected and well- known composers of all time. He was born in January 1756, and died at age 35, in 1791 and left the world more than 600 pieces of work to enjoy forever.
The greatest musician of all times, he was a stupendous pianists from the age of 5. He has composed symphonies and operas, who have changed the music of that times and which are still today used by modern music composers as inspiration.
Mozart is the kind of classical master that will never get old. He is an inspiration to many. I love the movie they made . . . It was an excellent reproduction.
He is maybe my thrid favourite "classical" composer. I think Beethoven and Grieg just about beat him but Mozaart was so god and his music is beautiful.
