Mozart was a child genius—he wrote musical notes before he could write words and began composing music when he was four years old. One day, his father came home from church and found Mozart at his desk. There were bits and pieces of paper everywhere and at first his father was angry. Then he realised that the child had written a sonata for the piano. When he commented that it was difficult to play, little Mozart replied, "Not with some practice," and began to play the piece him-self. Mozart went on to write his first symphony at the age of nine.
The Mozart family were very talented. Mozart’s sister, Maria Anna, was also a brilliant musician. The family lived in Austria, but the two children and their father toured Europe several times, travelling far and wide. Unfortunately, the children often fell ill. But thanks to the travels, Mozart learned fifteen different languages.
During Mozart’s life, many people admired the beauty and originality of his music. Young Mozart could compose anything, anywhere—during meals, while talking to friends, or while travelling on a coach. He composed very quickly and wrote huge amounts of music—more than 600 pieces in all, including symphonies and piano concertos. He also gave music lessons and played at concerts. Despite his hard work and devotion, he had many ups and downs. Mozart spent money faster than he made it. He loved the high life, including clothes and servants and was often anxious about his finances.
In July 1791, a stranger came to Mozart’s house, asking him to compose a Requiem or a Mass for the Dead. Mozart was ill, but needed the money, so he agreed to do the work. As Mozart composed the piece, he had a vision that he was writing music for his own funeral. In fact, he died before the Requiem was finished. Mozart was 35 years old and had so little money that he was buried in an unmarked grave.
