GOOD TIMES AND BAD
In 1787, Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro was a hit. But then he learned his father
Leopold had died. Happiness turned to sadness.
•Mozart had to earn money by teaching music, and giving concerts. He worked hard. He sat
up all night to finish his next opera, Don Giovanni.
•The King of Prussia (in Germany) offered him a well-paid job. But Mozart stayed in
Vienna.
WHAT MUSIC HE WROTE
Mozart never stopped writing music. He wrote music for piano and violin. He wrote for
orchestras and singers. He wrote 'chamber music' for a quartet . He wrote church music too.
•The famous composer Josef Haydn said Mozart was the finest composer he knew he made
his first music when he was 5
MOZART AS A CHILD
•Leopold soon knew he had a brilliant son. Wolfgang could play the harpsichord at
the age of 3. By the time he was 5, he was writing tunes.
•He seemed to have music in his head. He could pick up a violin and play
it, without being shown how.
