Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

      Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a famous composer that was born to Leopold and Maria Pertl Mozalt in Salzburg, Austria. He had an elder sister Maria Anna. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music.At 17, he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled 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. The cause of Mozart's death cannot be known with certainty.   He never went to school same as his sister. They studied reading, writing, arithmetic, history and geography with their father at home.   He began comporting music when he was only four years old. He wrote his first symphony at age 9, and his first opera at age 12.These are amazing facts, isn’t it?   I like listening to the classic music. When I was a junior high and high school student, I belonged to a Blass Band. And I play the French horn. He made music for French horn which is called “Horn Concertos”. I love listening and playing the music. So I choose him for “A Famous Person I admire”.
