The Harpsichord/Organ/Clavier
Violin/Viola (the cello is basically the same thing...)
Clarinet/Oboe
Flute/Harp
Trumpet (on very rare occasions)
Mozart (27 January 1756---5 December 1791) composed over six hundred works for a variety of instruments. (in a short lifespan of just 36 years...!)
(P.S. Those are all the instruments played by this brilliant composer I could possibly think of!)
What class in society were composers and musicians in Mozart's time?
Composers often worked for royalty, as Mozart did, and were quite rich and high in society as a result. Italian composers tended to be the most respected at this time. Mozart, however, was an exception to this rule. He lost most of his money through various debts and wasn't given much in the first place due to his humble background. He was also Austrian, and therefore other composers tended to discriminate against him.
What were Mozart's concertos called?
The list is rather long, and includes Piano Concerto No.s 1-27, Concerto for Two Violins, Violin Concerto No.s 1-5, Flute Concerto No.s 1 & 2, and many more.
