Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart
Born in: 1756, Jan 27th.
Mozart showed talent since he was
young.
He mastered keyboard and violin at
the age of 5.
And at 6, he began composing.
Mozart is the only composer in
history to have written undisputed
masterworks in virtually every musical
genre of his age.
This picture is commonly know as
portriat of Mozart,
About symphony #40
Mozart wrote his symphony #40 in G minor and it was
completed on July 25th 1788.
Sometimes this music is called the “Great G Minor
Symphony”.
The picture is considered the most common portrait of
Mozart. However, this is actually not a true image of
Mozart himself,
as he never actually sat for
the portrait. It was painted
posthumously by
Barbara Krafft,
30 years after he died.
