Mozart: The Early Years<\/h2>\n

Mozart began touring and showing off his musical talents with his father at a mere seven years old, which continued until he was about fourteen. He observed various European musical styles during this time as well, learning and growing as a musician. He also began touring with his mother to look for job prospects, but as she unexpectedly died during the tour, he was forced to return home to Salzburg.<\/p>\n

The First Freelance Musician<\/h2>\n

For a few short years, Mozart\u2019s post was for the current Archbishop as an organist. It wasn\u2019t quite his cup of tea, and he left the position at age 25 to become the first freelance musician known in history. Luck was on his side, and before long he was in Vienna married to Constanze Weber. From there, he began creating masterpieces one after another!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard some of his most famous works. Le nozze di Figaro\u00a0(The Marriage of Figaro)<\/i> is his famous opera full of comedy and drama. Another one of his greatest operas includes the story of Die Zauberfl\u00f6te\u00a0(The Magic Flute). <\/i>And, of course, he composed a number of moving symphonies: Piano Sonata No.11, Piano Concert No.23, and Requiem Mass in D minor, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

He led an amazing, inspirational life\u2014but would you expect less from someone who was close buddies with the great Franz Joseph Haydn? A very happy birthday<\/a> to you, Mozart!<\/p>\n
