Temperatures of most magmas are in the range 700 °C to 1300 °C (or 1292 °F to 2372 °F), but very rare carbonatite melts may be as cool as 600 °C, and komatiite melts may have been as hot at 1600 °C

It depends on the rock type- different rock types have different melting temperatures (magma is molten rock) ie the rock called peridotite melts to produce basaltic magma. Other types of magma include rhyolitic and andesitic, which each come from different types of rock. And also it depends on the pressure at which the rock/magma is held at ie the deeper you go down into the earth, the higher a temperature would need to be to induce melting. It is too complicated to just say all magma has the same melting temperature, sorry.

Minerals do not technically freeze, they crystallize. Magma crystallizes at 850 degrees Fahrenheit, unless it is in a hydro-thermal vein or deposit..

How does the coposition of the magma affect the temperature at which it solidifies?

The composition of the magma is very important for solidificatoin temperature. When it starts to cool, crystals of minerals begin to grow. If it has a low silica content - which means high melting point - the magma will solidify at high temeratures. If it has a high silica content - which means low melting point - it will solidify at lower temperatures.
