Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg on January 27, 1756, and he was already regarded as a genius as a child. At the age of six, he tried his hand at composition for the first time. Mozart authored 41 symphonies, numerous concertos, revolutionary Italian operas such as The Marriage of Figaro and Cos fan Tutte, and chamber works that are still beloved by many audiences today.

Besides, the melodic, rhythmic, and dynamic contrasts in Mozart's compositions are notable. Mozart died terribly young, at the age of 35, following a very successful career, leaving behind his profound, and profoundly beautiful, Requiem.
