WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
27^th January 1756 --- 5^th December 1791

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791), Austrian composer, born Salzburg, son of Leopold Mozart (1719-87), violinist and minor
composer, was attached to the archiepiscopal court there. Mozart was very precocious, played and composed at the age of 5, and
was taken to the courts of Munich and Vienna in 1762 to appear with his gifted sister Maria Anna (1751-1829). A tour through
Southen Germany took the family to Paris in 1763 and to London the next year, where they stayed until July 1765. After visits to
Holland, Paris again and Switzerland, they returned home in November 1766.

Mozart had learnt much from Bach in London and was quick to pick up what he heard anywhere he now composed symphonies and
stage music, another visit to Vienna in 1768 resulting in the Italian comic opera La finta semplice and the German operetta Bastien
and Bastienne. Three visits to Italy December 1769 until March 1771, August/December 1771, October 1772 - March 1773 brought
commissions for 3 operas for Milan. Mozart had learnt a lot from composer Padre Martini of Bologna, where he was elected to the
Philharmonic Society although under age. In 1773 aged 17, he settled at the Salzburg court, for which he wrote mainly church and
entertainment music but in January 1775 he produced Opera La finta giardiniera at Munich with great success. He felt constrained
in the Salzburg service, where he was not appreciated by the tyrannical archbishop, and obtained leave to go on a long tour with
his mother in 1777, Leopold being compelled to stay at home.

During a long stay at Mannheim he fell in love with Aloysia Weber singer, aged 16 whom he wished to marry but was peremptorily
sent to Paris by his father. There his mother died in July 1778, and his success was not great, though his gifts had now fully
matured. When he returned to Mannheim in November he found the court removed to Munich and Aloysia engaged for the opera
there, no doubt Stevenarding herself as superior to him and jilting him. After the production of his first great opera, Idomeneo, in
Munich 1781 he accompanied the archbishop of Salzburg to Vienna. There he was dismissed from his employment after a quarrel
but decided to stay in the city. German opera was just then being establish there and he abandoned Italian for a time by producing
Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail in July 1782, which enchanted the public but yielded him little financial reward. He nevertheless
took the risk of marrying, in August Constanze Weber, Aloysia's younger sister, aged 19, who made him a thriftless wife but
retained his love to the end.

The final period of his greatest work had now begun, he gave concerts for which he wrote superb concertos, started the set of
string quartets dedicated to Haydn and produced a great variety of other works in rapid succession, but never showing a trace of
haste in their masterly finish and depth of expression. A visit to Salzburg in 1783, to present Constanze to his father and sister
produced the unfinished C minor Mass, almost his last church work, and on the return journey, at Lint, the symphony called after
that town. In 1786, reverting to Italian opera, he produced Le nozze di Figaro in Vienna, in 1787 Don Giovanni in Prague, and in
1790 Cosi fan tutte in Vienna again a trilogy of incomparable masterpieces. But these and his countless instrumental works yielded
him no material prosperity; he was obliged to give ill-paid lessons and was so much in debt and so greatly harassed during his last
years that having become a Freemason, he was obliged to beg a fellow Mason for assistance again and again. Two journeys to
Germany the second of which brought him a commission for 6 quartets from the King of Prussia, offered him some distraction but
little alleviation.

In 1791 the production of Die Zauberflote was an immense success, but again financially unrewarding and the commission of La
clemenza di Tito for Prague served only to tire him out. He was already ill when he received an anonymous order for the Requiem
which was left unfinished at his death on 5 December 1791. His works number 626 in Kochel's catalogue, but there are many of his
unfinished compositions which bring the number to some 700, an enormous output for an artist who died in his 36th year and who
never wrote without the utmost care or failed to exercise his miraculous skill.
