Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria and died in 1791 in Vienna at the age of 35. He showed remarkable musical talent from a very young age, composing his first pieces of music by age 5 and his first symphony by age 8. Throughout his life he composed over 600 pieces of music and toured Europe performing for royalty. Though he achieved great success, he struggled financially in his later years and worked tirelessly, sometimes 15 hours a day, until his health deteriorated and he died.

13. In 1783 in the city of Linz
(Austria's third largest city),
Count Thun, announced a
concert of Mozart's music.
However, the situation was
awkward because Mozart
had no music prepared to
play, and the concert was
only four days away.
Mozart wrote to his father:
"As I have not a single
symphony with me, I am
writing a new one at
breakneck speed.“
Against all odds, the work
was finished in time.
It is now known as:
SYMPHONY NO. 36 IN C,
"LINZ" K.425

14. Wolfgang’s
music showed
an amazing
amount of
sophistication.
Many of his
works show no
corrections of
any kind.
About His Music

15. By the time Mozart
was in his 30’s, he
worked all the time.
As much as 15 hours
a day writing music.
Eventually, his hands
became so deformed
from writing that he
couldn’t even cut his
own food
The final years

16. In the summer of
1791, a man came to
Mozart and asked him
to write a Requiem.
This is a funeral
Mass. He would not
identify himself and
Mozart became
scared of him. He
thought it was his
Father coming back
from the dead
The final years

17. Sadly, his
premonition
came true and
he died before
he was able to
finish it.
The final years

18. The Requiem
was later finished
by Franz Xaver
Süssmayr.
It was thought for
many years that
he was a former
student of
Mozart’s, but this
is a Myth.
