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.

My father played this when I was young. No later than yesterday I was thinking that I would love to find this sonata again, and today I found it without even searching. Life is well-made.

I also heard it as a child, but could not identify it. Then by God's grace I managed to find it here.

What a delightful piece! Coming from his first sonata as I did, you can really feel the improvement. The progression to Eb7 at 11:06 (lead-in 10:58) grabbed me: what a way to, well, progress! Such an understated ending too: do we clap now?
Abhishek Dhol
Wieczorek-Davis Yeah! We do clap now!

my favourite sonate of all of the ones i ever played (over the past 6-7 years). it's just so beautiful - i always enjoy practicing it
Timothy Thorne
Tired Watermelon it's a lot more difficult to play correctly, than it looks. That first mvt is quite nuanced and should be played with great expression.

The 3rd movement was played today on my school's end of term 1 assembly as an opening to assembly. Seriously, I'm in love with this piece 😍 💕
