About the author
Born in Salzburg in 1756, Mozart showed extraordinary musical gifts almost from the start. Trained by his father, Leopold Mozart, he toured Europe as a boy performer and composer, astonishing courts and audiences with his skill at the keyboard, violin, and improvisation.
As an adult, he worked in Salzburg and then in Vienna, where he built a career as a composer and performer. He wrote in nearly every major genre of his time and left more than 800 works, including symphonies, piano concertos, chamber music, sacred works, and operas such as The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Magic Flute.
Although his life was short—he died in 1791 at age 35—his influence has been enormous. Mozart’s music is prized for its clarity, energy, wit, and deep feeling, and it remains central to concert halls, opera houses, and recordings around the world.
