Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the most famous composers in history. He composed the works that included sonatas, symphonies, masses, chamber music, concertos and operas.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756, in Austria. His father Leopold was a successful composer and violinist. Wolfgang had one sister, Maria Anna. Leopold started teaching his children music at a very early age. They were both very good at it.
When Wolfgang was six years old, his father took him and his sister to Munich. It was the first of their European tours: they performed in Paris, London, The Hague, and Zurich. In London, Mozart met Johann Christian Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach's youngest son.
In December 1769, Wolfgang and his father made a trip to Italy. During this time, Wolfgang wrote a new opera, Mitridate, re di Ponto. The Mozarts made more trips to Italy. After they returned from the last one, Mozart produced five violin concertos. In 1776, he turned his attention to piano concertos. In 1781, Mozart moved to Vienna. There he wrote an opera called The Abduction from the Seraglio. It was very successful and made Mozart even more famous. When Mozart was in Vienna, he became friends with Joseph Haydn. The two composers really liked each other. In 1782, Mozart married Constanze Weber. They had six children, but four of them died. Mozart and Constanze got into serious financial difficulties. One of Mozart's rivals at this time was Antonio Salieri. Some people think that Salieri poisoned Mozart, but it is probably not true.
In 1785, the opera The Marriage of Figaro had a premiere in Vienna. In 1787, Don Giovanni had a premiere in Prague. Mozart's financial problems got worse and he had to borrow money from his friends. The years 1788–1789 were really hard for him. He felt really depressed. His financial situation got better in the 1790s. Between 1790 and 1791, he composed some of his most famous works His health was getting worse. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died on December 5, 1791 at age 35. He was considered as one of the greatest composers of all time.
