Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Austrian) (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and
influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as
pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the
most enduringly popular of classical composers. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest
childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five
and performed before European royalty. Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a
brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and
passionate. His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own
early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not
see such a talent again in 100 years."
