Last week I moved back to Philadelphia, the city where I
was born. When I was six, my father, who had always
appreciated the beauty of the farmlands there, moved us
to Lancaster County, which is famous for its peacefulness
and leisurely pace. Philadelphia, which is dirtier and
noisier, is also more violent. Its streets are more dangerous
than the country lanes to which I am accustomed. Still,
a city that offers many types of restaurants and
entertainment is more exciting than the quiet
country town from which we had thought about moving
for years. Moving back was an idea whose time had finally
come.

Mozart, many of whose 600 compositions are
masterpieces of the classical era, is among the most
popular composers of all time. Mozart showed
promise early in life. At an age when most children can
only play "Chopsticks," five-year-old Mozart, who was
already competent on piano and violin, was
performing for royalty. The court musician job
for which he was hired at 17 bored
young Mozart, who quit the job and traveled seeking
a position that might challenge him. The music that he
wrote in Salzburg, and which made him famous, never
made him rich. The musical genius who so enriched
the world died young, ill, and penniless.
