Mozart composed many more concertos for piano than for any other instrument.
Even at the tender age of five, Mozart started to compose music pieces. He could play the clavier or keyboard instrument perfectly even at the age of four. He is considered to be one of the best composers of classical music.
Mozart played several, the one he liked best was the harpsichord.
There was no one particular "place" that Mozart would compose. He always had paper with him and made sure there was ink and a quill nearby whenever he had the urge to write music.
I don't know about lyrics, but many, many of his works were operas and he wrote both the instrument music and the words that were sung along with it.Second answer:Mozart did not write the libretti to his operas. For example, The Magic Flute has a libretto by Emanuel Schickaneder, and Cosi Fan Tutte, The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni all have libretti by Lorenzo da Ponte. Some composers have written their own libretti, Wagner being the prime example, but Mozart did not.
One of his most famous compositions fo flute is "The Magic Flute" (literally translated from the original German, "Die Zauberflöte".)
Mozart was a composer in classical period. By that time, there were no valves and mutes in brass instruments. Therefore they had one playable overtone scale per instrument.
I'm not completely sure of this, but according to one of the books I've read, when Mozart was a child he was so afraid of trumpets that he would get physically ill when he heard one blow.
Mozart had one sister
Mozart had one child.
Mozart's parents were very supportive of him. Mozart's father (Leopold Mozart), was one of his only teachers, and Mozart's mother (Anna Maria Mozart), went on tour with him 3 or more times.
