About the author

Born in Salzburg in 1756, Mozart showed extraordinary musical gifts from a very young age. Trained by his father, Leopold Mozart, he toured widely as a child performer and quickly became known across Europe for his gifts as a pianist, violinist, and composer.

As an adult, he built his career mainly in Vienna, where he wrote many of the works that made him famous. His output was remarkably broad, including symphonies, concertos, chamber music, sacred works, and operas such as The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and The Magic Flute.

Although he died in 1791 at just thirty-five, Mozart left behind more than 600 works. His music is admired for its clarity, beauty, dramatic energy, and emotional depth, and he remains one of the most performed and beloved composers in the world.
