Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a prolific Austrian composer of classical music. The son of music teacher Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang Mozart was a child prodigy, composing his first piece at the age of five. He soon began several European tours, and befriended composers like Johann Christian Bach (son of Johann Sebastian). His works ranged from operas to symphonies to choral works. A rather loose examination of his life and death occurred in the 1984 film Amadeus.
