The actual "day" is not known ... and Mozart is dead! He was about 4 years old when he composed his first work.
Most historians believe he composed his first works at age 5 or 6.Initially Mozart wrote simple songs (contrary to popular belief, he did not compose the music to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star), but at the age of six he did indeed write his first sonata, the Violin and Keyboard in C major K. 6.
Mozart wrote the piece in 1787, which would have made him 31.
At the age of three, it was apparent that Mozart was a musical prodigy and he was taught to play the harpsichord, violin, and organ by his father. More about Mozart can be found at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart
