Child prodigy
wolfgang amadeus mozart showed musical gifts at a very early age and was already composing his first works when he was four. born in salzburg in 1756, he was one of the greatest musical geniuses in history. by the age of six, he’d played before the austrian empress and had begun to write his earliest symphonies. a year later, he was playing to audiences in london and paris, astonishing them with his brilliance. he worked all over europe during the next seventeen years, finally settling in vienna. he lived just a little over half of wagner’s life span but was amazingly prolific. he died in 1791, aged only thirty-five, having composed over 600 works, including great operas like the magic flute. just before his death, he’d been composing the requiem, one of his most famous works.план текста
