Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed over six hundred works.

At the age of five he was already composing little pieces, which he played to his father who wrote them down.

Among these pieces were the Andante (K. 1a) and Allegro in C (K. 1b).

Mozart composed over 610 works.

Mozart composed comparatively few songs (as opposed to arias) - about 30. The best-known is 'Das Veilchen' ('The Violet'). Some others are 'Komm, lieber Mai', 'Das Traumbild', 'An Chloe', and 'Der Zauberer'.

His family called him Wolferl, which is German for 'Wolfie'.

Most people know him as Wolfgang Amadeus, but he was baptized Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. So his first name is "Johannes".

He was the court musician in Salzburg, Austria.

Mozart's first symphony was written by him when he was 8 years old, making him a child prodigy. The title of it was simply, "Symphony No. 1 in E Flat Major."

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was four when he wrote the song twinkle twinkle little star. it is scary how he was only four and now millions of preschoolers all over the world are singing it in different languages!

Neither of the lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together got to making of a genius. Love, love, and love that is a true making of a genius.

I believe you are thinking of the harrkpsichord.....

Mozart wrote over 600 musical works in virtually every possible form, some of which are made up of many parts. The exact number is not known, as occasional discoveries of previously unknown works are still discovered.

The Marriage of Figaro is a comic opera composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was a continuation of the plot of The Barber of Seville.

Mozart played the piano, violin, organ, harpsichord, and maybe several other instruments.

Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 in D Minor is also known as the "Choral Symphony" because it was the first to incorporate voice as one of the instruments.

Giovanni Palestrina ;1525-1594.

He wrote 104 Masses, and some 450 other sacred works!!

While Mozart was thought to have written 41 symphonies for some time, a number of early symphonies have recently been discovered. The total is believed to be closer to 50, with many of them being written before his 18th birthday.

Linus Pauling died from prostate cancer on August 19, 1994 in Big Sur, California. He was 93 years old (born: February 28, 1901).

Mozart begin playing instruments at the tender age of 6 years old. He could play the violin, harpsichord, piano, and other keyed instruments of the time.

Yes, but only one survived past birth ... Maria Anna (1751-1829), also referred to as "Nannerl".

Mozart, like most children born into a musical family, did not attend "school" as we know it today. They were taught by family members, moms, dads, siblings, uncles, aunts ... and by watching those family members do what they loved to do most: create music. Eventually, they began to understand and were able to read music at a very early age with all the constant exposure. Later one, these children were able to begin composing music which has lived on for centuries.

Mozart was born in 1756. He was about 14. So he was locked up in about 1770.

Chamber music is written for a small group of performers, usually between 2-5 players.

Both symphonies and concerto are written for orchestras, with a much larger number of players.

In 1791, the last year of his life, Mozart received a commission to compose a Requiem by a nobleman named Franz von Walsegg. Walsegg communicated with Mozart anonymously through intermediaries, so Mozart never knew who actually had commissioned the work. Walsegg was fond of commissioning pieces from composers and passing them off as his own. In the case of the Requiem, he intended to have it performed as his own work in memory of his late wife.

Mozart was paid half his fee for composing the Requiem up-front, with the balance to be paid upon completion and delivery of the score. When he died in December, 1791 leaving it unfinished, his wife Constanze, desperate for money, asked several composers to complete it for her so she could collect the final payment. Mozart's student Franz Sussmayr ended up completing the work, though he was not Constanze's first choice. After a performance was arranged for Constanze's benefit January, 1793, the score was delivered to Walsegg and it was performed in memory of his wife in December, 1793.

If you mean to ask what instruments/voices Mozart intended for his Requiem, it is scored for: 2 Bassett Horns (a relative of the clarinet), 2 Bassoons, 2 Trumpets in D, 3 Trombones, Timpani, Strings (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, 'Cello and Bass) and Organ, accompanying Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass soloists and Chorus.

Many have been considered the greatest: Mozart, Beethoven and Tchiakovsky are a few, but a large number more have equal or potentially greater skill than they.
