How did mozarts children taunt him?
Mozart had two surviving children: The eldest, Karl, became a civil servant for the government of Milan and died in 1859. The younger, Wolfgang Amadeus Franz Xaver, became a respected composer and pianist, though his works are virtually unknown today. He died in 1844. Mozart had four other children that did not survive infancy: Raimund Leopold, Johann Thomas Leopold, Theresia Constanzia Adelheid Friedericke Maria Anna and Anna Maria.
What was Mozarts earliest composition?
They just found a composition just a few weeks ago that they thought was Mozart's from when he was 4. The manuscript was written, they think, in his father's hand and the style was Wolfgang's. Here is an article from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/08/02/new.mozart/index.html?iref=newssearch
What are 5 pieces of music tchaikovsky write?
Eugene Onegin, Manfred Symphony, Serenade for Strings, Swan Lake, and Variations on a Rococo Theme are five examples of compositions by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893).
Specifically, Russian composer Tchaikovsky focused on composing ballets, concertos, operas, orchestra suites/seranades, and symphonies. The above-mentioned five compositions represent examples from each of these five main genres. They respectively represent an opera (composed 1877-1878), a symphony (1885), a serenade (1880), a ballet (1875-1876), and a concerto (1876-1877).
What was the name of Mozart's son?
Raimund Leopold Mozart (June 17 - August 19, 1783), Karl Thomas Mozart (September 21, 1784 - October 31, 1858), Johann Thomas Leopold Mozart (October 18 - November 15, 1786), and Franz Xavier Wolfgang Mozart (July 26, 1791 - July 29, 1844) are the names of the four (4) sons of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (January 27, 1756 - December 5, 1791) and Constanze Weber Mozart (January 5, 1762 - March 6, 1842).
Specifically, the couple were married on August 4, 1782. Mozart died before the couple reached their tenth wedding anniversary. Before, his death he also experienced the disappointments of witnessing the deaths of two of his sons (Raimund and Johann) and of both of his daughters: Theresia Constanzia Adelheid Friedericke Maria Anna Mozart (December 27, 1787 - June 29, 1788) and Anna Maria Mozart (25 - 25 December 1789).

What is the mood of Chopin's Polonaise Op 53?
I'm not sure what the question is, but I will try to guess what you mean:
The Polonaise in A-flat Major Opus 53 is one of Chopin's most famous works. Notice that it's just a Polonaise, not a Polonaise-Fantasy. You may be looking for the Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat Major, Opus 61; in which case I cannot help you.
This polonaise though, nicknamed the "Heroic Polonaise", was written in a somewhat freer manner than most Polonaises. But nonetheless it is one of the most popular Chopin pieces to date and is still widely played by amateurs and professionals alike (an example of the former being yours truly). The piece is difficult to play at best; a notable example being the b-flat melodic minor ascension scale, which trips me up at least. I can't speak for others. Then we have the E-major section in the middle where the left hand plays on octaves; in a word: the weakling's nightmare. I don't mean offense to anyone; but if your left hand isn't strong enough, you can forget about playing this song unless you have the dedication to keep working at it until you can play the section with appropriate quality (I still can't, so please don't call me a hypocrite....I'm just warning you beforehand, it's a very difficult thing to play).
Also, one must be careful to apply just enough rubato and not too much/too little to the song; in my opinion, Rafal Blechacz plays the song with just enough rubato, and Horowitz is an example of too little (though I'm sure I'm going to get flamed for this. PLEASE don't start screaming at me. I like Horowitz's playing too; I just think he could have used oh-so-slightly more rubato in his interpretation). Then if you look at some others, they use too much (I believe it was a Japanese person who did so in the International Chopin Competition).
Enough about rubato; the last thing to mention is persistence. Since I am a piano noob, it took me two years to get this song to the point where it is actually playable; I still have not mastered the middle E-major section on octaves and cannot play the song through without mistakes. I suspect you are not such a noob as I am; and so you will have much less difficulty.
Good luck!
Music scholars divide Beethoven's music into how many style?
The only problem with these services is that a lot of them charge money, and these fees add up really fast. One company that I have personally tried and used for a while is called Promo Only, and they charge around $30 or so just to get your music added to their network. I know a lot of bands who used this service and were happy with it, and they got some great exposure because of it.

What grade is Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique?
It depends on where you are from and under what music program you are studying.
In Canada, under the Royal Conservatory of Music, it is listed as a ARCT Performance piece, the whole sonata has to be played for examinations.
In Australia, under the Australian Music Examinations Board, the 1st movement used to be considered a grade 7 piece.
Many times a single movement of this piece is played. The first movement is quite difficult and is played only by advanced students; the second movement is slower and much simpler and is commonly played by early intermediate students; the third movement is not often played by itself, but would probably be considered intermediate in difficulty.
1st movt: Grade 8, Performance Certificate or 1st level Diploma (ATCL, ARCT or Dip. ABRSM are the main ones).
2nd movt: Grade 5/6.
3rd movt: Grade 6/7.
The whole piece is easily a 1st level Diploma.
Don't underestimate the 2nd movt however. In a 1st level Diploma exam it is largely considered as difficult as the 1st movt.
