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.

The counterpoint and harmonic progression in the last four bars are glimpses of mastery and maturity that I never believe a child could have until I saw this myself.

Mozart did this when he was 5 years old and it’s still better than the stuff I’ve made.

Dustin Stout

of course it is

Calebe Priester

Well, I don't know what to say, but his sister (Mozart's) said he spent a lot of time practicing thirds and he was less than 4 years old when he started doing that, he was like 3 years old (maybe even 2 years old, who knows?), so he started playing very young and that must have had some type of effect on his brain, plus his father was a music teacher, his father had a great amount of musical knowledge, on top of that his DNA had music in it, understand? Because those kind of things (those kind of "traits") pass from father to son, so he had a natural intuition for music, it's like everything was converging for him to be what he became.
Do your father know about music theory? Does he play at all? Did you started playing really early on? Did you have acces to a solid music education?
Don't compare yourself to him, it's bad, but do get inspired by him, that's good!

Simon Kawasaki

Though short, this piece has some refined elegance to it.

EllaT

Especially considering it was composed by a 5yr old

The Great Repertoire

Born in Salzburg, Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus #Mozart was the most celebrated child prodigy. At the age of five, he was already composing little pieces, playing them on the harpsichord to his father who wrote them down.

Maria Anna, Wolfgang's elder sister, later recorded: "In the fourth year of his age, his father, for a game as it were, began to teach him a few minuets and pieces at the clavier.... He could play it faultlessly and with the greatest delicacy, and keeping exactly in time...."

Here is Andante in C major, K.1a, one of the first copositions by Mozart.
