Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a leading Austrian composer of the late eighteen century. He was only five years old when he wrote his first minuet, six when he performed before royalty, and eight when he wrote his first symphony. During his short life, Mozart composed over 600 works, and remains one of the world’s most popular classical composers. Ludwig van Beethoven<\/a> (sixteen years younger than Mozart) was greatly influenced by his work.<\/p>\n

“Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s was the sole-surviving son of Leopold and Maria Pertl Mozart. Leopold was a successful composer, violinist, and assistant concert master at the Salzburg court. Wolfgang’s mother, Anna Maria Pertl, was born to a middle class family of local community leaders.” Biography provides an excellent Mozart biography, accompanied by a short video.<\/p>\n
