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.

@ot4kon
The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse – bassoons and basset horns – like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, until a clarinet took it over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.
@discolevity1035
Okay that’s what that old guy says in Amadeus ...
@williamstephens9945

That opening oboe always bring tears to my eyes
@TheTurulhawk
Yes, me, too. Such a heartbreaking melody.
@OboeFiles
so good! and Oliver really captures the longing quality of that melody when it switches to minor
@TrishBenedict
@@OboeFiles is that what happens at 2:05? I’m not a musician, I just know that there’s a shift and I wondered if it was just a new phrase or a time change or a key change. (This is the curse of the passionate lover of music who doesn’t know anything about music.) But I was just telling my husband that shift reminds me of the part of Zauberflöte where Pamina talks about her father giving her the flute. It’s one of my favorite operas - some people only see the cuteness and fun of it, but to me it’s so full of mystery and humanity – and I wonder if it’s because it reminds me of the Gran Partita? Or does the Gran Partita remind me of Flute? Or maybe just because it’s all Mozart. :)
