January 27th
marks the 250th birthday anniversary of Wolfgang Mozart.
He was born in Salzburg Austria (Europe) and began learning and writing
music when he was only 3 years old. He
began playing an instrument like the piano when he was 4 and performed for the
Empress of Austria when he was 6.
Mozart was a famous
composer when he was 14 years old. During
his life he wrote 22 operas (musical stories), 40 symphonies (pieces written for
orchestra) and many sonatas, concertos, serenades and church-choir songs for
harpsichord (like a piano) and violin. His
music involves a lot of feelings (lively, sad, serious, pretty, funny).
He spent his life writing and performing music, but most of his work
became popular after he died at 35 years of age.
