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.

Which is your favourite Mozart Piano Sonata?

SeongJin Cho's.

Impossible question
@goldenera6029
K330 is my favorite
@virginiabuhn9719
Such a difficult question! My favorite at this moment is Sonata in D Major, K.576, but any one which Seong-Jin Cho would choose to play would be my favorite at that moment.

Whatever you do, don't pause this video. And never start it if there's any chance of it being interrupted. Be it wifi connection, children/siblings, pets etc. There is no justifiable reason in my mind right now, for this to be stopped and I wish for it never to end. It's quite a shame how quickly the beautiful silence was interrupted by applause.
