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.

Did Mozart play the harp?

The only composition of Mozart that contains the harp is the "Concerto in C for flute, harp, and orchestra. I guess any composer should at least know how an instrument works in order to compose for it!


Who tutored Mozart?

Mozart was a child prodigy who taught himself to compose. He had already composed several smaller compositions and his first symphony by the age of eight. He was also influenced by the work of composer Johann Christian Bach, who befriended Mozart as a child in London in 1764-5, and no doubt taught him some finer points regarding composition. Mozart became friends later with Josef Haydn, and each had some influence upon the other's musical style.

Who was one famous child prodigy?

Austrian Classical composer Mozart is considered to have been a child prodigy. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on 27 January 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. 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. Because of his unusual ability, however, he was also somewhat exploited as a "Wunderkind" in the courts of Europe. He composed his first song at age five, and his first symphony at the age of eight. Another musical child prodigy was Felix Mendelssohn. Born on 3 February 1809 in Hamburg, Germany, Mendelssohn was considered to be the greatest child prodigy since Mozart. He wrote his first twelve compositions, including symphonies and two operettas, before he was fourteen, and by the time he was seventeen, his compositions had developed maturity. He wrote incidental music for the performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, including the Wedding March that is played as the recessional at many weddings.
