was born on the 27th of January , 1756. Mozart
was lucky because his father, Leopold Mozart,
was one of Europes leading musical teachers.
He was born along with other 7 children but his
only surviving sibling was his elder sister, Maria

3, he showed a strong understanding in music.
After a while he was tutored by his father.

In 1762, Leopold took his children for their first concert. This
was in the court of Bavaria in Munich. By this time Nannerl was
11 and Mozart was 6.
He met a few musicians and became familiar with their music.
One of the people he met was Johann Christian Bach in London

very long so he and his family fell ill.

followed by other journeys. In 1771 he visited Italy. He again
visited Paris in 1777 with his mother , but suddenly his mother
passed away in 1778.

Why did I choose Mozart?

I chose Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
because I had heard his name
somewhere and I wanted to know
more about him and his work. I was
impressed how he could produce
music at a early age. Most of his early
work came from his natural ability as
well as home environment because his
father was from the same field.
