Who wrote music for A Little Night Music?
The suite "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" (a little night music) is an instrumental composition by Wolfgang Mozart in 1787. It was originally known as Serenade No. 13 for Strings in G major (K. 525).
In 1975, Stephen Sondheim used the title (likely an homage to Mozart) for his musical "A Little Night Music". See link for more.
Who is the court composer of the Emperor of Austria during Mozart's years in Vienna?
I don't fully know the answer, but i know it was someone who was hired by the King to create music for an orchestra or something..
I am adding to this answer, with my understanding of the obligations of a "modern day" court composer. It actually is drastically different. It is a title that carries with it, great honor and responsibility. Highly sought after. Duties include making jokes, immediately notifying me [head of court] if Weird Al tickets go on sale, contributing to my chin de-prunization Botox fund, and finding my retainer. So I believe that it is a highly customizable role. I have included a link below as well for better reference.
Where does Mozart the famous composer live?
He was born and lived in Austria, dying in Vienna in 1791. He did travel widely in earlier years, sometimes with his father, to perform concerts in places like London, Paris, etc.
- Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. He then moved to Vienna and composed great pieces there. Then, very sick, he died at age 35 in 1791.
What effect did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart have on music?
He, Bach, and Beethoven all made classical music more popular. Mozart affected music in a tremenduously positive way. Without Mozart, Beethoven may have not even played the piano, because it was because of Mozart that Beethoven's father pushed him to be great.
How did Mozart influence music?
The fact that he died at a young age will also have affected people's perception of his music. In the same way the likes of Lenon, Hendrix, Cobain et al, are held in high esteem today Mozart's premature death is likely to have endeared him to the public even more, giving his music a lasting appeal.
Another factor, is the sheer amount of music he wrote, it is impossible to miss him as a figure-head of music history.

What inspired Mozart to become a painter?
Mozart played the 'fortepiano' - the forerunner of the modern piano. He was virtuosic and gave frequent perfornances of his own compositions, for example his subscription concertos - often playing from memory. He was also an adept improviser at the piano and this was on display in the cadenzas of his concertos.
What did people think of Mozart as a child?
//Yes, he composed Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when he was 5 and he performed classical pieces when he was 4.//
This is actually not correct. He didn't compose Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was only a melody he used to create his own variations. And these variations were written much later in his life, when he was in his twenties. Despite this, Mozart was definitely considered a child genius, he was something of a sensation in his youth. Though his early work doesn't even come close to his late work, even his earliest compositions are already very remarkable.
I think that Mozart and Haydn are quite alike but Haydn said that in 100 years there will never be another as great as Mozart !
What school did wolfgang Mozart go to?
Mozart didn't attend a school per se. He received his musical education from his family, as was the norm for that period of time. Often children adopted the same or similar work that their parents had or were doing at the time of their birth.
Which Simpsons episode features Bart as Mozart?
Treehouse of Horror XIII
"The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms"
there is a possibilty either way, if you mean modern words, words like 'eye' were invented by him anyway, and medieval spelling (or for that matter, Elizabethan) was different to our own, like beast was spelt beaste, to literally represent what the sounds that came out of your mouth sounds like, as writing was invented after speech, so realistically, in his time he would have been a fantastic speller - but our modern standards of spelling mean that some of his work does not make sense to us no more - luckily there are people that CAN make sense of it.
How old was Mozart when he completed his first composition?
Mozart's first music lessons were given by his father. He wrote his first two pieces, two minuets for piano in 1761 (age 5). Mozart composed his symphony in 1764 (age 8).
Did Mozart compose the libretto for The marriage Of Figaro?
I don't know about lyrics, but many, many of his works were operas and he wrote both the instrument music and the words that were sung along with it.
Second answer:
Mozart did not write the libretti to his operas. For example, The Magic Flute has a libretto by Emanuel Schickaneder, and Cosi Fan Tutte, The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni all have libretti by Lorenzo da Ponte. Some composers have written their own libretti, Wagner being the prime example, but Mozart did not.
Beethoven was not crazy because he believed in himself and encouraged other people about compositions. Also, he cared about music more than any other thing that a death musician may do. This is the answer for "Was Beethoven crazy?"So, if this is not one of your answers then look somewhere else. Thank you for looking at my answers if Beethoven was crazy, back in his time!

What job did Mozart do aside of music?
For most of his life, he had no other job- he was a professional composer and musician, and was employed by the Austrian court, as well as producing commissioned pieces for wealthy patrons, guilds, noblemen and state events. When he wasn't composing classical pieces and operas, he played in orchestras or gave recitals of his own and other composer's work, being proficient on a number of different instruments. He also taught music to private students- one of whom was the young Ludwig Von Beethoven, by who he was extremely impressed!
His musical career started at a very early age, when he was little more than a child, and he was only 35 when he died, so he had little time aside from his musical work for anything else. He is known to have spent a brief time as an actor before he became famous, but played only supporting roles and 'bit' parts for very low wages. As a child and teenager, he may have had various part-time work serving in shops or being employed by various tradesmen as an assistant, but this would only have been to raise money to finance his musical ambitions.
