What was Mozart's early music education like?
His father, who was a musician, taught him around the age of 3-5. Because of his father, Mozart met and associated with many of the great musicians of the day, and was influenced by them although he never formerly studied music.
Name all the instruments Mozart played?
Mozart played many instruments, all of which are popular. Some of these instruments are the piano, violin, cello, organ, double bass, and many other wind and string instruments.
Mozart was great a virtuoso at the piano and violin (he wrote nearly all his concerti for these instruments for himself), but was also a very good viola player. He wrote the solo viola part in his Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat for himself to play. At the piano, he was considered one of the greatest virtuosi of his day, noted not only for his technical prowess, but for his peerless musicality.
The only composition of Mozart that contains the harp is the "Concerto in C for flute, harp, and orchestra. I guess any composer should at least know how an instrument works in order to compose for it!
Which languages did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart speak?
Bert.
The questions is not clear. Mozart spoke German.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was German. He not only felt himself "German" , he was born (Salzburg, German State of Austria) and raised in the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation. This fact is not disputable! He even talked about Germany ("Teutschland") as his "beloved fatherland" ("geliebtem Vaterland"). Until the end of WWII "Austrians" always felt to be German, many do so today. Even the Austrian Emporer "Kaiser Franz Joseph" said: "I am the Emperor of Austria-a German Lord!" (Ich bin der Kaiser Österreichs - ein deutscher Fürst!

Writing about Michelangelo during his lifetime report that for "several months" after finishing the Sistine Chapel he had difficulty reading in any posture but looking up. This was thought to be due to the weeks and months he spent standing on scaffolds and looking up to paint the ceiling. Late in life, he died at age 88, his eyesight had dimmed and was blamed on a lifetime of study. His symptoms would indicate that he developed macular degeneration - not uncommon at that age. Since he finished the Sistine Chapel at age 37 and continued to important architecture work such as St. Peters dome, it is unlikely that the Sistine Chapel work had any major long-term impact on his eyesight.
No, Mozart was not born in France; he was born in Salzburg, Austria on January 27, 1756.
How hard is the Rondo Alla Turca?
The Rondo Alla Turca is a very difficult piece and involves a lot of rapid finger movement down the keys. It is typically played by very advanced students, who have at least accomplished piano grade 7. Usually, grade 7 is reached after about 8-9 years of piano study.
I personally have been learning piano since the age of 6, and at 18, this piece is still very difficult for me to play. It could be managed by almost anyone who tries, but to play it well, and to master the intricate broken-octaves and many notes, is a lot more difficualt, takes a lot of practice, and probably a fair few years of piano study.
As Beethoven is reported to have said, "It's always been a problem with Mozart; too many notes!"
How many piano pieces did Mozart write?
626 cataloged by Kochel.

What does Mozart think of salieri music?
There is no reason to believe that either of them hated each other. They actually were rather friendly towards each other considering that they were professional rivals.
I think that Salieri hated Mozart so much for many reasons. First of all Salieri thought that it was ridiculous for Mozart to have so much talent for Mozart was flamboyant and reckless and never have to work hard for it. Meanwhile Salieri had to work for what he had by doing stuff like giving up his temptation toward women. Mozart had a father who supported and encouraged him and taught him everything he knows while Salieri's father thought that music was a waste of time and discouraged him, so Salieri had learn how to play the piano by himself. Salieri hated Mozart because was not as good and realized he would never be. He wanted for the musical prodigy to be dead and for him to be the one everyone loved and envied

The short answer is yes. Beethoven conducted different orchestras to make money. He conducted the premier of his 9th Symphony, and rumor has it that he had his eyes closed and continued "waving his arms" even after the orchestra was finished playing.
What was mozart's most famous piano concerto?
The piece that would be recognised by almost everyone, even if they couldn't name the composer, would be the opening movement of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", (Serenade in G, K525).

Who was the most influential composer of the Classical period?
Let's see...Beethoven was born during the Classical period, and died during the period he largely created (the Romantic era). It's not him. Early Classical era masters CPE Bach and Gluck were born during the Baroque period and died during the Classical period. It's not them either. Mozart was born during the Classical era in which he died, which is not really living through the whole Classical era.
Haydn, on the other hand, was born in 1732, when the beginnings of the Classical era emerged, though contemporary classical music was still largely Baroque. Haydn lived a long life and died in 1809, during a time when the late Classical period and the early Romantic period (represented at that time by composers such as Beethoven, Paganini, and Weber) overlapped.
So I guess Joseph Haydn is the closest answer out there.
Was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart blind?
I think he was loosing his sight towards the end of his life, but I haven't read that he was blind.
---------------------------------------------------------
There are different types of blindness. It's been suggested that Rembrandt might have suffered a particular type called stereo blindness, which would mean he had difficulty with depth perception and couldn't see three dimensions as well as normal people. This would probably have helped him as an artist, though, since painting often means reducing what we see in the 3-D world to a 2-D canvas.
