Mozart was known as a "musical prodigy", showing his musical talent from the age of 3, studying piano with his father at 4, composing music at 5, violin at 6, composing several sonatas, and symphonies at 8, and writing his first opera at 11. He lived to be just 36 years old. The heavy workload of composing, performing, and living in poverty damaged his health and caused him to pass away prematurely, and his musical works became a precious heritage of the world's musical treasures.

He was born in 1756 in Austria, where his father was a violinist in the court orchestra and a composer. Since his father was an anonymous musician, all the children in the family were nurtured and nurtured by his father. One day, when Mozart was three years old, his father was teaching his sister to play the piano in the piano room, and Mozart moved a small stool to watch from the side. Mozart's memory was so good that he remembered all the pieces he had heard, and he could accurately point out whenever his sister played the wrong music.

In Mozart's pointing, his father discovered his son's genius, so when Mozart was 4 years old, his father began to teach him to play the piano. Although Mozart was young, he recited many difficult concertos with complicated techniques and played them very well.

At the age of 4, young Mozart often showed his musical talent to his family, and whenever the family had dinner, he would offer a song for everyone's amusement. He often ran to the piano and played, regardless of whether you allowed him to do so.

At the age of 5, the little touch of the first grade will be able to self-compose a variety of tunes, and the people of the city understand that their family is out of a little musical genius.

One day, Mozart heard his father and his friends playing a violin trio in the living room, so he took his violin and came to the living room, where he usually learned piano from his father, who taught him the violin purely for the sake of conditioning.

"Dad, I'll be your 2nd violinist, okay?"

"No, you haven't practiced this piece yet."

"I can read the score."

"OK, OK, let our little genius try", spoke the second violinist who was on the sidelines.

So Mozart played the violin trio with his father and another uncle, and when the performance was over, the three adults stood there motionless as everyone looked at little Mozart, dazzled by his talent.

"My God, you're a genius, you little guy."

Mozart's father discovered that his son was indeed talented in music, and to broaden his children's horizons, he took them abroad to perform.

Mozart and his sister traveled to Vienna, Holland, Munich, and other places to perform.

When Mozart was 14 years old, he met Bach, who was so fond of this musical genius that he coached him in performance and composition. Mozart composed in the fields of opera, symphony, concerto, and chamber music. Mozart also wrote a superb number of frolic serenades, dance music, etc. In these genre-based works, Mozart adopted elements of folk music. Reflecting on his connection with folk music.

In general, Mozart's compositional achievements span a wide range of musical fields. They reflect the quest of German and Austrian intellectuals in an oppressed position at the end of the 18th century to free themselves from the bonds of feudal absolutism and to achieve a perfect society and the dignity of a bright and just human being. His musical style is characterized by sincerity, delicacy, popular elegance, lightness, and flow, and is mostly full of optimism.
