Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Largely homophonic although there are lines of monophony.

1. Molto allegro (fast movement), 2/2
2. Andante (Slow movement), 6/8
3. Menuetto. Allegretto - Trio (minuet), 3/4
4. Finale. Allegro assai (fast movement finale), 2/2

He didn't. He was taught music by his parents.

There weren't many (if at all) universities in those days.

Actually, there were universities in "those days," both in Europe (Paris, London, Rome, and other cities) and in America.

Mozart's musical intuition was so astounding that, even thought there is no evidence that he ever played the flute, I'm sure that he would have had little difficulty in playing the instrument.

He is taken down to hell.

Mozart and his wife Constanze had six children, only two of which survived until adulthood.

In order of birth:

Raimund - 1783 (died in infancy)

Karl - 1784

Johann - 1786 (died in infancy)

Theresia - 1788 (died in infancy)

Anna Maria - 1789 (died in infancy)

Franz - 1791

Classical

Antonio Vivaldi is best known for composing The Four Seasons. The Four Seasons is a set of violin concertos depicting the seasons as Vivaldi saw/heard them. I'm sure you've heard Spring, which is the most recognized piece.

The piano wasn't fully developed until later in the 18th century, but he started learning the clavier (a keyboard instrument) at the age of 3 in 1759. Once he developed prowess with such keyboard instruments as the aforementioned, the piano was an easy transition for him, and he brought quite a bit toward its development. He also learned keyboard at a later age and started composing at 5 years of age

Mozart's influences were Bach's son and Franz Haydn. Haydn was more of an influence to him. Mozart dedicated a set of six sting quartets to Haydn.

Isolde, from Tristan und Isolde

She was not noted for her own musical talent although she was married to a composer and violin teacher of international repute and the mother of two prodigiously talented children.

The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had six children with his wife Constanze:

Raimund Leopold (17 June - 19 August 1783)

Karl Thomas (21 September 1784 - 31 October 1858)

Johann Thomas Leopold (18 October - 15 November 1786)

Theresia Constanzia Adelheid Friedericke Maria Anna (27 December 1787 - 19 June 1788)

Anna Maria (born and died 25 December 1789)

Franz Xaver Wolfgang (26 July 1791 - 29 July 1844)

Despite the family's status, good income and relatively comfortable lifestyle the dates of birth and death show that the Mozarts suffered from the same high infant mortality rate as their contemporaries. Of the two children who survived into adulthood, Karl Thomas was a gifted pianist who made a career as an official to the viceroy of Naples and Franz Xaver Wolfgang was a successful composer, conductor, pianist and teacher - neither of the two married nor did they have any children.

He had heart failure from rheumatic fever.

(That's one theory). At least 40 different theories have been put forth and many claim they have the evidence to back up their writing. He was poisoned, or took poison, or drank himself to death, or used opiates, or was suffocated by his wife or mistress. One of the better documented alternatives is that he ate bad pork and died of trichinosis about 6 weeks later. He wrote a letter describing his love of rare pork cutlets and said that the smell wafting through the house at that moment was too much to bear. About 42 days later he was dead.

Mozart became ill on Sept. 20th 1791. He was able to continue professional functions for some time until the illness intensified on 20th. At this point he became bedridden with pain, swelling, and vomiting. He died 1 AM on Dec. 5th 1791. He was only 35.

There is no exact known cause for Mozart's death. The official record has it as "hitziges Frieselfieber" (severe miliary fever). This was in reference to the rash that he had that resembled 'millet seeds'. In modern medicine this would hardly be considered a sufficient identifying factor in cause of death. There has been many hypothesis in regards to the death of the great composer. The number of speculations for his death reach well into the hundreds covering everything from influenza to poisoning. The one that is the most widely accepted is that he died of acute rheumatic fever.

To answer shortly; No one knows, we can only guess.

The "classical" period is the time of Haydn, Mozart and very early Beethoven/Schubert. Given that, the three most famous operas of that era all belong to Mozart. Two of them for sure are Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro. The third is debatable. Die Zauberflote?

Rude toilet humour held great appeal. Read his letters for proof.

Double click on Mozart and a pop up window with much personal information will open. (This double click feature is a great tool in this website.....spread the word!!!)

Mozart died when he was 35 years of age. He was supposedly a child prodigy, and he fufilled the prophecy of young prodigies falling to their death young. Hope this helps...too bad for Mozart. ;)

german he insited that it be german it was also about a turkish brothle

He was from Salzburg in what is now Austria.

Because his operas were well known. Classical music was a near-universal pastime, both listening and playing, in European upper-class and middle-class circles in Mozart's time, in a way a pre-echo of pop music's universality these days.

Constanze Weber was Mozart's wife. He married her in 1782.

Mozart's music is considered classic by much of the Western world. It is music that many different kinds of people tend to appreciate and find beautiful.

It is something that people can listen to with out having to turn it down, and hurt their ears. The classical music of the 1700's is easy to play along with and occasionally sing along with. It is very easy listening.
