Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition resulted in more than 800 works of virtually every Western classical genre of his time. Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoire. Mozart is widely regarded as among the greatest composers in the history of Western music, with his music admired for its "melodic beauty, its formal elegance and its richness of harmony and texture".
Born in Salzburg, then in the Holy Roman Empire and currently in Austria, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. His father took him on a grand tour of Europe and then three trips to Italy. At 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position.
While visiting Vienna in 1781, Mozart was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He stayed in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years there, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas. His Requiem was largely unfinished by the time of his death at the age of 35, the circumstances of which are uncertain and much mythologized.

One of my favorite Mozart's piece ever. Unfortunately I had to stop studying piano a little before my teacher wanted my brother and me to start being challenged with it. World hasn't lost a great pianist for sure but I have always regretted I missed the pleasure.to play it ..... 35 years ago.......
Regardless, it's still a pleasure to listen to it.
Corrado Giachetta

Ah, perhaps - but have you heard these two brothers by the name of Haydn? Michael is a true prodigy, probably will gain quite some notoriety. His brother, Joseph, though...

I don't know, I'm putting my money on Salieri. I'm just not convinced that this Mozart fellow has the qualities that make history as much as Salieri does. Besides, Salieri is the Kapellmeister at the Imperial court, whereas Mozart hasn't really any position. But, I suppose we shall just have to see how history plays out, won't we?

@Theodore Servin indeed

Del 4:30 al 5:54 camina el misterioso y dramático Mozart mucho más interesante que el juguetón infantil clásico que despierta en el 5:54 pero se sigue gozando su impecable perfección y derrochable vitalidad
La PERFECCIÓN Mozartiana es sencillamente Insultante inimitable asombrosa impecable
Joss Windsor
Es un GOCE absoluto escuchar del 1:45 al 2:18 y de hecho utilizo la famosa función A-B para repetir ese pasaje que tanto nos deleita y se repite 2 veces y nos sienta como un jarro de agua fría que desaparezca y se vaya por otros derroteros,el cierre de la frase en el 2:00 o en el 2:17 es tan lujoso como majestuoso, es una genialidad sin precedentes
Ernst Kerstner
The minore-variation at 4:30 is extremely chromatic: fascinating!
