Was Mozart born into a rich family?

Answer 1

Mozart was born into a family of moderate means, but not wealthy. His father, Leopold Mozart, was a successful composer and music teacher, which provided some financial stability for the family. While they were not considered wealthy by aristocratic standards, the Mozart family lived comfortably and were able to support Wolfgang's musical education and career development.

Answer 2

By no means do they all. However, there are a number of dynasties where generations have composed. The Strauss family had three generations of composers, JS Bach had 20 children, several of whom composed with varying success, Mozart's father composed - yet Beethoven had no family history!

What IS required, apart from talent at the job, is an early recognition of that talent and a nurturing of it. In that way, many who show talent at music in early childhood will learn the discipline required - and develop a love for music to last a lifetime. Those are the people who will compose.

Yes. His father was Leopold Mozart and he was a composer himself. Mozart began playing when his father began teaching his sister how to play the piano. Both he and his sister were good at the piano.
