Mozart circa 1780, detail from portrait by
Johann Nepomuk della Croce.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (German:
[ˈvɔlfɡaŋ amaˈdeus ˈmoːtsaʁt], English see fn.),[1] baptismal name Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart[2] (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the
Classical era. He composed over 600
works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of
symphonic,
concertante,
chamber,
operatic, and
choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of
classical composers.
Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in
Salzburg. Already competent on
keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the
Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife
Constanze and two sons.
Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. His influence on subsequent Western
art music is profound.
Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, and
Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years."[3]
