Music Report
Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the most iconic, famous,
and adaptable music composers in the history. He had performed for 29 years of
his life and was famous in the 1760s on various cities like Vienna, Paris and
Salzburg. He was well- known for his amazing songs like The Magic Flute, Quartet
Number 19 and his varieties of genres.
Mozart’s dad, Leopold Mozart, started teaching him to play piano when he was 4
years old, he later taught Mozart to play violin. Mozart started composing music
at the age of 5, he made a small Andante and a small Allegro. Mozart opened his
first concert and had a European tour at the same age. In March 1781, Mozart left
Munich to go to Vienna because his chief, Colloredo, wanted to tell him that he
was invited by Joseph II (the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, which Mozart was
born under) to the throne. That basically means he wanted to own Mozart as his
music servant. Later, Mozart refused to return to Salzburg, which was refused by
his chief and his father, but he won the debate and got to stay. Mozart performed
as a pianist, married Aloysia, have 6 kids, two died to infancy. He met Joseph
Hayden, a fellow composer, in 1784. When he visits Mozart, they sometimes play
music together. Haydn's Opus 33 (his sixty-eight string quartets) was seem to be
made of Mozart's six quartets. Haydn told Mozart's father that Mozart was the
best composer he knows. Mozart got a pet starling from a Vienna shop on May
27, 1784. It was his greatest companion. It was with him moving from St.
Stephen’s Cathedral to a luxurious apartment at Domgasse. It witnessed the birth
of his two sons, Karl Thomas Mozart and Johann Thomas Leopold, which for some
reason that Mozart believe in, shouldn’t be breast-feed. It saw the death of
Johann after he was born for a month. It had seen Mozart became famous for his
music and tunes. It died about a week after Mozart’s father died. Instead of going
back to Salzburg for his dad funeral, he buried his precious starling in the best way
possible. With prayers sang hymns, Mozart read to it his poem he wrote for the
funeral. By a tiny graveside, the world’s greatest composer spoke with love of his
starling “gray and bright”, who was “not naughty, quite”.
Mozart’s last concert was the Piano Concerto Number 27 on January of 1791
(year of his death) at Vienna. It was composed in the late 1790 and finished on
January 5, 1791. He died in December 5, 1791 to renal failure at the age of 35.
