My favourite composer is
Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart. He is
a famous Austrian
composer. Mozart was
born in
1756 in Salchburg,
Austria. His
father , a violinist and a
composer, noticed
wonderful
talent of his son and
taught him
how to play musical
instruments and to compose.
Being 4 years old
Mozart played the
clavier. When he was 5
or 6 years old he
started composing
music. At the age of 8-9
Mozart created his first
symphonies and at the
age of 10-11 his first
creations for musical
theatre.
When he was 6
years
old
his
father decided to
take him and his
sister to the big
cities of Europe.
Two children gave
concerts
in
Germany, Austria,
France,
England
and Switzerland.
The audience was delighted to see such a small
boy playing the clavier.
In 1770 he was invited to Italy. He could not
imagine his life without music.
Mozart was apolitical.
He was very
classical. He
appreciated Bach
and had a large
output: 49
symphonies and 18
operas.
At the age of 26 he
moved from his native
town to Vienna.
Though he didn’t have
a great success as a
composer in Vienne.
Burdens of life, povetry
and desease were
speeded up his death.
He died at the age of 35.
The real
fame came to
Mozart only
after his death.
Many people
now know and
like his music.
