Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Austria in 1756. Mozart’s dad, Leopold was a professional musician, and he worked for an orchestra. He also liked writing music. Leopold began teaching Mozart piano pieces when he was 4. Leopold first did it for fun, then his son surprised everyone by performing them perfectly each time. Mozart then began composing little pieces, because he wanted to create some music. Also, Mozart taught himself how to play the violin, so that was cool. So, his dad was like, oh wow he’s so cool and started touring the world with his family and they performed for all sorts of people, and Mozart met new musicians and composers. When Mozart turned 17 he got a job as a court musician for the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg. But then he got bored doing this, as if composing for a billion people wasn’t enough. Then, he left Salzburg in 1777 and went to Paris the next year, looking for somebody to play for. But i didn’t go well for him. Nobody wanted him, so he went back to Salzburg and his dad got him a position as a court organist. Then, he was arguing with his employer and then he got so mad he rage quit and moved to Vienna in 1881 just to get away from his employer. Then he was playing and composing himself and he even played for the Emperor! After he moved in for a few months, people said that he was the best keyboardist in all of Vienna. Over the years he set up lots of concerts and he performed in restaurants and apartment buildings. And then since he was so rich he started spending everything and buying everything and throwing money everywhere. Then, in 1785 the composer Haydn told Mozart that he was the best composer known to me in person and by name. Then the composer moved away from writing keyboard pieces. His first opera in 4 years was released. It was a success in Vienna and it was his best work and it was really popular. And then his fame declined. Austria was at war so he couldn’t get any money. Around in 1786 Mozart performed less and less in public. His fame was vanishing. Then in 1790 he started to rise in fame again. He got another successful piece in. And then he was performing for operas and composing again and getting lots of money. Then he died. Sucks for him. So he got sick towards the end of 1791. Then he finally died on 5, December, 1791, aged 35. He was buried in Vienna. Nobody knows how he died.
