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.

Man has this piece grown on me. My first time listening to it a few months back I thought it was just "pretty good". Now it's probably one of my favorite pieces he's written.

Lovely. I always enjoy listening to Mozart's Horn Concerto pretty much. Nicely played.

Have not heard these concertos for so long. Used to have them on LPs. No longer. Forgot how beautiful and joyful they were. So very glad to hear them again.

French horn is always beautiful But only Mozart is sure to bring tears of joy to my eyes!
Arianna Gorbet
Roy Nash For me, it’s tied with the bassoon for the most beautiful instrument

This always brings me peace during turbulent times.

È incommentabile tanto è sublime!
In due occasioni il Solista ruba qualcosa (di quasi impercettibile) nel solfeggiare. Comunque esecuzione e interpretazione eccellenti.
È una gioia continua…
