Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was an Austrian composer and one of the most influential figures in Western classical music. Born in Salzburg on 27 January 1756, he was a child prodigy who began composing at the age of five and performed before European royalty. His father, Leopold Mozart, was a musician and played a significant role in his early training.
Mozart's works span various musical genres, including symphonies, operas, chamber music, and choral compositions. Some of his most famous pieces include "Eine kleine Nachtmusik," "The Magic Flute," "Don Giovanni," "The Marriage of Figaro," and "Requiem" (which he left unfinished at his death). His compositions are celebrated for their clarity, balance, and emotional depth, making him a key figure of the Classical era.
Despite his immense talent and success, Mozart faced financial struggles and died at the young age of 35, on 05 December 1791, in Vienna. He was buried in an unmarked grave, as was customary for the time. His legacy, however, remains unparalleled, and his music continues to be performed and admired worldwide.
