Why Mozart is both a genius and a psychopath

Genius refers to his musical talent~~ As for neurosis, because his mind is full of music, and the ideas and ways of thinking of people like this are difficult to be understood and accepted by ordinary people, so he He would be considered a lunatic, or a lunatic, rather than saying that he really has a brain problem. As for his introduction, you can find a lot of information by searching on the Internet. The following is the general story of Mozart’s life:

At the beginning of the 18th century, a dazzling music star rose from Austria. He is the musical prodigy-Mozart.

Mozart’s musical talent began to sprout when he was three years old: his sister played the piano at home. After her sister finished playing, Mozart jumped on the piano bench and rapped a piece of music that his sister had just played. The bullet came out! Seeing that his son had such a strong sense of music, his father decided to let him learn piano.

Although Mozart was young, he had no trouble learning the piano at all. A minuet, learned in half an hour.

At the age of four, Mozart composed his first piece of music.

When he was six years old, his father took him to travel around the world.

At this time, Mozart was a childlike little boy wearing a wig, a silver dress, and a dagger at his waist, but his musical genius was amazing. Even if the piano is covered with a cloth or his eyes are blindfolded, at a young age he can still play the music of the masters fluently, or play his own music with passion.

The upper class was also amazed by Mozart's talent. The Queen of England held him on her knees; the Russian Tsar invited him to dinner; the Roman Tsar gave him the highest honor, a gold medal. . . . . .

When Mozart was sixteen, his hometown underwent tremendous changes. The previous Archduke of Salzburg passed away, and the new one was a very domineering man. Musicians were worse than servants in his eyes. In that era, musicians were looked down upon. The talented Mozart is no exception, let alone meeting this tyrant?

Mozart’s father was determined to let his son find another place to live. In the next six years, he traveled from Italy to Vienna, from Munich to Paris. People recognized that Mozart was a genius, but there was no place to take him.

Mozart gradually understood that the nobles who listened to his performance were just for recreation and entertainment. Even he once held him on her knees and kissed him, and gave him a set of inlays that could only be given by her most beloved person. The Queen of England, who wore a gold watch with her portrait, had no real respect for Mozart in her heart. The Queen wrote in a letter to her son: "You want to keep him to serve you, no! Absolutely not! Such a useless person who wanders around the world like a beggar and can corrupt the atmosphere of the palace is absolutely unacceptable to the royal family. You can let him stay." The Queen's words and deeds clearly exposed the upper class's hypocritical "favor" for Mozart.

After failing to find a job, Mozart had to return to his hometown to serve the Archduke.

The Archduke gave Mozart two rules: - he was not allowed to perform anywhere; second, he was not allowed to leave Salzburg without permission. Mozart's freedom was taken away, and a free bird was put into a cage.

The Archduke was a cruel man, and he tried every means to torture Mozart.

Mozart lived like this for a month, even though he knew very well that if he quit his job, poverty, hunger and death would be waiting for him. But, he wants to be free! !

He submitted his resignation to the bus.

The Archduke was furious and kicked Mozart off the stairs.

Mozart fell seriously ill. From then on, his desire to pursue freedom became even stronger. At the age of twenty-five, Mozart left Salzburg.

He was free, but poverty followed.

At this time, Mozart fell in love. He fell in love with Zia, the daughter of another musician, and her family was also very difficult.

Mozart’s father advised his son not to get married, as they would be even poorer after marriage. Mozart said: "We are of humble origin, in a bad situation, poor, and I don't need a rich wife, because wealth has nothing to do with us. But our wealth is kept in our heads - no one can take them away except by cutting off our Head."

Mozart got married against his father's will. As expected by his father, life after marriage became even poorer.

It was cold, his hands were frozen, and he could not write, so he took his wife's hand and danced; his wife fell ill, and he was extremely anxious because he had no money to hire a doctor; the child cried, I am hungry because I have no money to buy bread. A talented musician fell into such a tragic situation, struggling painfully on the verge of death.

But the burden of life did not overwhelm Mozart, nor did it overwhelm his determination to devote himself to music. During these difficult years, he wrote many excellent and immortal works: such as "The Devil", "The Magic Flute", "Tang." "Huang" and so on. As he composed, the musical fire burned in his head.

When a court musician looked at his first draft, he said: "This is actually a first draft! There is no revision, no painting, he just writes out the music in his head. God, he is the person you sent to sing for you. Go!"

However, the fire of music and poverty also destroyed Mozart's body. His health was getting worse and worse. One day a man in black broke into his residence and ordered a "Requiem" from him. He only specified a deadline and left without leaving his name or address. A few days later, on the evening of December 3, 1791, the man in black came again, gave him the money and asked him to finish writing it tonight. Mozart was helpless, supporting his sick body to write this "Requiem". At this time, the fire of music collected everything in his mind and burned like never before. He kept writing, and beautiful melodies kept pouring out. He said with tears in his eyes: "This is the "Requiem" I wrote for myself!"

Finally, Mozart asked someone to play it After hearing it once, he listened tiredly and slowly closed his eyes. Just as the pianist sounded the last note, the soul of this great musician had ascended to heaven! Mozart was only thirty-five years old at this time.

It was later discovered that the man in black was a servant of a nobleman. The nobles loved music, but their quality was very poor. He often sent people to order works from famous artists under false names.

In the Poor Cemetery, Mozart’s body is laid to rest.

There are many corpses in the cemetery, and no one knows where this great musician is buried.

The cruel society and the torture of poverty took the life of this great musician and destroyed Mozart's talent.

Mozart's tragic and short life was the result of the irreconcilable conflict between a great musician and a backward society. Although Mozart has passed away, his compositions will remain immortal forever. . . . . .

Mozart’s life was short, but the number of musical works he created and his exquisite skills are amazing! He composed 17 operas, 49 symphonies and numerous famous pieces. Later generations collected his works and printed them into twenty-seven thick volumes of "The Complete Works of Mozart".
