Mozart was born in Salzburg and he was taught music from a very young age. Maybe that is why he was playing the piano by the time that he turned 4 years old! He composed his first piece of music when he was 5 years old. Even though he was very famous when he was younger, he had a difficult time as he got older. Mozart found himself struggling as he tried to make his music stand out. His popularity seemed to wear off as he got older. But, that is not to say that he did not create a great deal of very famous works during the earlier stages of his life.

You may have heard of Mozart‘s symphonies as numbers. That is how they were listed and recorded. They actually begin with the number one and they move up to number 41. However, most people will tell you that the last three that he composed were the most famous. You might have heard of symphony number 40 in G minor. This one is relatively common and it is one of the most famous and popular to many people.

Cantatas that he created also became very famous over the years. Many of them are very popular as well and they have actually made their mark on the world as well. For example, the “Little Masonic Cantata” is now used as the national anthem of Austria. This is an amazing accomplishment for anyone. It is easy to see that this composer really left his mark on the world.

Elvira Madigan was a movie that featured one of his piano concertos. It was actually the number 27 concerto that he composed. When his music made it to the big screen everyone started to know his name and just how talented he was. His work was difficult and hard but he loved it and he was good at it.

The movie called Out of Africa also had Mozart’s composed pieced within it. This movie used the Clarinet Concerto in A Major. There are a lot of people that became familiar with this artist because of this movie and his music that was featured in it. He also worked very hard to compose music for the bassoon, the oboe, and the horn. It is easy to see that he was very talented and he enjoyed music no matter what he was using to make it. This definitely paid off for him because that is why he is one of the most famous composers that has ever lived. Even though he needed to struggle as he got older, he definitely left his mark on the world of music. He is an inspiration to all.
