  1. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart

  2. Basic information/early life Geburtstag: Januar 27, 1756 Salzburg, Germany. Todestag: Dezember 5 1791 Wien, Austria. Mozart was the youngest of seven siblings, and one of the only two whom survived infancy. He Spent his early years learning music from his father. When he showed an affinity for music he traveled, performing shows in courts from places spanning from Munich all the way to France, he was very much considered a child prodigy.

  3. Career • At the age of 17 he was hired as a court musician in Salzburg. But wanting more and feeling ambitious he shortly afterwards left to travel to seek better fortune as a musician. While visiting Vienna in 1781 he was fired from his court job in Salzburg and chose to stay in Vienna where he achieved fame but not a whole lot of money. In his final years in Vienna he wrote most of his best symphonies, operas and portions of the requiem which were largely unfinished at the time of his death.

  4. Significance today • The music he wrote is still studied, such as the never finished requiem that he was still in the process of writing when he died. His work is still studied and referenced today when constructing modern pieces of music, and is one of the most famous and appraised of classical composers.

  6. Interesting facts MUSIC BEFORE EDUCATION Mozart could write music notes before he could write words. WHAT A SMART GUY! Mozart was very good at mathematics. he liked to scribble mathematical figures all over walls and table cloths. Also, Mozart was very good at languages, especially Italian. BOY KNIGHT DISCOVERED Mozart was a knight! He became a knight when he was presented with the Papal Order of the Golden spur as a boy. He was given the Papal Order of the Golden Spur by the pope of Rome, Clement XIV. Mozart was given this honor because he wrote a complicated piece down on paper after hearing it only once! This piece was called Miserere by Gregorio Allegri. GAMES THEN MUSIC... GAMES THEN MUSIC... Mozart played many games, but he was still able to write the music that was assigned to him. How did he do it? While waiting for his turn in the game, Mozart would scribble down a few music notes then take his turn. Lucky for him, music came very easily. A COMPOSITION BORN EVERY DAY! Mozart composed over 600 musical works. Most composers write a far smaller number of music than 600 works. Mozart composed: 50 symphonies 25 piano concertos 12 violin concertos 27 concert arias 26 string quartets 103 minuets 15 masses 21 opera works "THAT BOY CAN NOT COMPOSE MUSIC!" Many people did not believe that a little boy such as Mozart could compose such beautiful music. He was locked into a tower with only a pen, paper, and a bed. In a week someone checked up on him and was amazed at the piles and piles of music. There was no more doubt that Mozart had written the music everyone loved.
