Have you ever imagined what it would be like to do something amazing that no one else do? That's what it must have been like for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. Mozart showed his musical genius early encouraged by his father. Mozart began to play the harpsichord at the age of three! At age four he could compose minuets at age five. He wrote symphonies at age nine.
Mozart could compose a long piece of music in his head. He imagined what he wanted it to sound like and then played it perfectly. He often did this without writing it down. When he wrote it down, it was flawless When Mozart was 12 he and his father visited St Peter's Cathedral in Rome There they heard a famous piece of music called a Miserere. This music was beautiful. The church did not allow it to be copied or performed elsewhere. But Mozart loved the piece. He wrote it down from memory so he could play it himself. During his life, Mozart produced more than 600 musical works. He is remembered as one of the most brilliant composers who ever lived.
