His Life:
Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria
His parents were Leopold, a musician, and Maria Anna.
He was a normal child for the first three years. He then began
to show signs of the prodigy he was to become at the
keyboard. He began composing at age five.
Mozart composed his first symphony at age 8.
Mozarts father pushed him very hard to become a musical
genius. Mozart spent his childhood touring Europe with his
father and sister performing for monarchs and church officials.
At age 10 Mozart proposed to Marie Antoinette, wife of King
Louis XVI.
Mozart was by all accounts a little brat.
Mozart married Constanze Weber, the daughter of his
landlady, at age 26. His father bitterly disapproved. *By that
age, Mozart had already composed 415 pieces of music.
Mozart then moved to Vienna.
Mozart died 10 years later on December 5, 1791. He had over
$150,000 in debts due to his party lifestyle.
He was buried in an unmarked grave because he had no
money to pay for a burial plot.
His Famous Compositions:

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

Symphonies No. 25, 40, 41
The Marriage of Figaro
The Magic Flute
Don Giovanni
Requiem
Twinkle Twinkle

His Musical Mark:

Mozart never made a mistake when he wrote down parts - it
was as if he was getting the music straight from an
unworldly source. When he began to write the work down, it
was already finished in his head.

 Mozart had perfect pitch and didnt need a piano to compose he could also play anything he heard instantly.
