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.

Actually, this is like the 1812 overture but without cannons, and this piece is also written in the sonata form.
0:00 Introduction
1:07 Exposition, first subject
2:05 Exposition, second subject
2:42 Mini coda
Unlike the normal sonata form, the whole exposition is not repeated
3:03 Development
4:27 Recapitulation, first subject
5:17 Recapitulation, second subject
5:52 Coda

like we all didn't already know he is one of the towering composers of all time, artists of all time, a genius who had the entire piece composed in his brain before he even started notating it on paper. He himself described the writing as the boring part, like taking dictation. His music is organic, like it already existed in nature before he plucked it out of the heavens.

Il genio di Muti è caratterizzato da una brillantezza che pochi altri riescono a pareggiare.Sembra sempre che il maestro abbia la capacità interpretare i brani non in chiave romantica,tradizionale,filologica o altro,ma semplicemente in maniera espressiva.Anche la sua overture delle Nozze di Figaro è un capolavoro per quanta energia riesce a trasmettere.
Muti,un orgoglio d'Italia.

we had to hear this part in school over and over again but I liked it every time. Thanks to my teacher for music I began to like classical music. He died two years ago I wonder if he knew that he had a strong influence on us kids...

Muti interpreta sempre bene Mozart perché ci mette il cuore. Il genio austriaco aveva ed ha un cuore di bambino. Non è solo matematica. È anima.
