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.
No idea. Sorry :(
Salieri
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!
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.
Mozart (APEX)
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.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart toured extensively, being paraded as a child prodigy, or "Wunderkind", by his father.
Type your answer here... Mozart's father had him take piano lessons at a young age. Mozart never had a real say because he was a child prodigy and was pressured into continuing with his musical career.
As well as being influenced by the work of composer Johann Christian Bach, who befriended Mozart as a child in London in 1764-5, Mozart became friends later with Josef Haydn, and each had some influence upon the other's musical style.
Mozart had one child.
Leopold Mozart, who was his father.

yes
A guitar is easy to play for any one, even a child and provides an excellent base set of musical skills.

Yes; Mozart and his wife had six children, only two of which survived to adulthood.
It is because he was a child prodigy, and everybody loved his performances.

The piano- as a small boy, he actually took lessons from Mozart, who was very impressed with his ability and predicted that the child would grow up to become an even greater composer that he was.
