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.
