Mozart was born in Salzburg, a small mountain city with developed culture and beautiful scenery. Mozart's father Leopold is a musician. He is a musician in the court band of the Archbishop of Salzburg. Mozart showed a rare musical talent in his early years. Once, my father taught my sister to play the piano, and Mozart, who was only three years old, listened carefully. After my sister finished playing, Mozart climbed on the piano stool and played the song that my sister had just finished playing again. His talent surprised his father, and he was determined to train him as a musician. When Mozart was 4 years old, his father was chatting with a friend and saw Mozart writing on the staff. When his father asked him what he was writing, Mozart replied very seriously, "I am composing music!" " "My father is skeptical. He picked up what Mozart had written and looked at it carefully. He found it not only completely correct in form, but also quite good. On another occasion, my father and friends played a quartet together, and Mozart begged his father to let him play the second violin. Father had no choice but to let him play with the second violinist. The musician who played the second violin slowly stopped playing and found that Mozart, who played alone, was accurate, which surprised the musicians greatly. By the age of six, Mozart had become a famous local performer and composer. He is known as a prodigy because of his skillful piano playing skills. My sister Marianne is five years older than him, and she is also an excellent pianist. Father took them on tour to attract people's attention. They performed in Vienna, then the European music center. Mozart's superman's musical talent shocked Vienna's music scene, and the name of "musical prodigy" spread all over the country at once. The Queen of Austria specially invited them to perform. Mozart's improvisation and the stunt of covering the keys with cloth amazed the Queen, so he was richly rewarded and became famous. The following year, my father took his brother and sister on a trip and performed in Germany, Switzerland, France, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries. Wherever he goes, he is warmly welcomed by people. Mozart is popular in Europe and is known as "the miracle of18th century". In London, Mozart stayed for a year and was carefully taught by the outstanding composer johann bach (the son of the famous German musician Bach). The three-year tour broadened Mozart's horizons, increased his knowledge and laid a deep social foundation for his further development. His father deeply realized that Mozart had to receive systematic education in music theory and writing skills if he wanted to become one of the first-class musicians in Europe from a music prodigy. Since then, Mozart has conducted strict and extensive training and study under the guidance of his father. Mozart studied very hard, and sometimes he practiced the piano for more than ten hours. It can be seen that Mozart's great success is not only a genius, but also a diligent factor.
Mozart's father led Mozart to perform in Italy, which was an important step for him to expand his popularity in the European music industry. Mozart conquered the critical Italian audience with his extraordinary musical talent. The Italian people, who have a long tradition of music and culture, also gave Mozart, who was 14 years old, a very high honor. The famous Bologna College and Weilong Conservatory of Music awarded him an academician successively, and the Pope awarded him the medal of "Golden Wheel" and the title of "Golden Spur". After the age of 22, Mozart worked as a musician in the court of the Archbishop of Salzburg. Later, unwilling to endure humiliation and oppression, he resolutely left Salzburg 178 1. The next decade was the most brilliant period of his musical achievements. As a freelance musician, he wrote many works, including large symphonies, piano concertos, violin music, serenades and sonatas of various instrumental music, all of which are very beautiful masterpieces. Among them, Symphony No.39 in EB major, Symphony No.41in C major, Symphony No.40 in A minor, Marriage of Figaro, Don Juan and Magic Flute are the most famous operas.
Due to the dual factors of poor life and heavy work, Mozart's health condition is deteriorating day by day. 179 1 year 65438+February 4, he ended his life in poverty and illness, at the age of 45. Mozart's short life was completely occupied by music, and his name was immortal because of music.
