Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. His compositional output includes over 800 works across various genres, recognized as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. Born in Salzburg, Austria, Mozart was a remarkable child prodigy, showcasing talent in keyboard and violin from an early age. He traveled widely in Europe, impressing royal audiences and composing extensively. Mozart settled in Vienna, producing many of his best-known works but remained financially insecure. His death at 35 left his Requiem unfinished, surrounded by uncertainties and myths.[25]
