On January 27, 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, into the family of a court musician. He was originally from Germany. His father Leo Bold Mozart was a violinist in the city's court Catholic orchestra and a composer; his mother, Anna Maria Mozart, was also keen on music and could play cello and violin. Mozart was the youngest child and the seventh.

Mozart began to study composition in 1760. In the cold winter of 1762, the 6-year-old Mozart went on an experimental tour to Munich, Vienna, and Pressburg under the leadership of his father.

In 1773, Mozart, who had been frustrated in Italy, returned to his hometown and moved from his small and cramped fourth-floor apartment on Grain Street to No. 8 Makart Square in the New Town on the other side of the Salz River. In Salzburg, Mozart was appointed chief musician in the Archbishop's court, but this stage of his life was full of melancholy and depression.

In 1780, Mozart completed the opera "Idomeneo". Mozart's works during this period were rigorous, reflecting the influence of the Turbulent Movement in content and new elements in form.

In June 1781, Mozart could no longer bear the humiliation of the archbishop and resolutely submitted his resignation to the archbishop. He became the first musician in European history to openly get rid of the shackles of the court and went to Vienna to make a living. He was nominally a free composer, but in fact he was unable to resist the oppression imposed on him by the feudal society. The hardships of life had a profound impact on his thinking and creation. The 10 years in Vienna became the most important 10 years in his creation.

In 1791, Mozart composed the opera "Tito's Mercy" but it was unsuccessful. In September, the last opera "The Magic Flute" was completed. Afterwards, Mozart began to compose the large-scale religious music work "Requiem". At 0:55 on December 5, before the "Requiem" was completed, Mozart died mysteriously at the age of 35 and was buried in Vienna. Extended information

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (English: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, January 27, 1756 - December 5, 1791), was born in the Holy Roman Empire Salzburg, European classical music composer.

Mozart was willing to accept traditional musical forms and make clever use of them. His importance in the history of music lies in reshaping and defining classical music, which is different from Bach's balanced perfection and Beethoven's unruly music. The important works left by Mozart cover all types of music at that time. The concertos, symphonies, sonatas, serenades, and diversions he composed later became the main forms of classical music.

Mozart’s creations are numerous in number, wide in scope, and profound in influence, making it difficult for countless musicians to surpass them. The spirit of the Enlightenment and Turbulence runs through Mozart's works, and the influence of the Franciscans left a deep imprint on his works. His religious music, operas, symphonies, piano concertos and other works are regarded as the sounds of nature by musicians at home and abroad, both ancient and modern, and are regarded as classics.
