Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart !

                                                                  By : Yona Zeldis McDonough .                                                                                             More than 200 years ago , there was a little boy who learned too play musical instrument at the age of 3 ! It was called the Clavier , which was an old  fashioned stringed instrument that also had a keyboard . By the time he was five , he was composing BEAUTIFUL music all by himself . At e8 , he learned too play two more instruments , the Violin & the Organ . His father was a musician too . He wanted everyone too pay attention too his talented son . But sometimes people back then , had a hard time believing that a small little boy could be very talented . & they also thought that his father written the music for him . Or that he wasnt a child at all , but a small adult .  Papa Leopold Mozart was a very strict Dad . He was a composer & violinist in Salzburg in Austria . Everyday , papa leopold came home everyday from work , teaching his son & daughter how too play instruments ! & Wolfgang , he was more talented then his sister . Wolfgang was born on January 27th , 1756 , In Salzburg Austria , 6 children had came before him , so he was the baby of the family . But Wolfgang & his big sister , Maria Anna , lived past their first birthdays . Back then when babies or young children go sick , there were no medicines like there are today . So sadly , it was common for children too die .  Wolfgang had a long name , so they called him Wolfie for short . Later on , Wolfgang became SUPER famous & even met Empress Marie Theresa ! He & his wife , Constanze , had 6 children , tough only 2 sons , Karl Thomas & Franz Xaver , lived more than a year . him & his family was a very happy family & enjoyed life . Until one day a strange man came by the door , He was wearing nothing but BLACK , he had dropped off a letter that was unsigned . It said too write a Requiem , a Requiem is a peice of music composed to honor somebody who has died . & the letter promised Mozart alot of money , & they needed that too because they hardly had any money ! Mozart worked hard & hard for the past several months , but everytime he tried , his health go worse & worse . Soon , he came too the point were he could not get out of bed . On December 4th 1971 , he asked his friends too join him at his bedside / bed . Together , all of them sang parts of the Requiem . On December 5th Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died . He was only 35 . They Requiem remained unfinished , though the pats he didnt finished are known as the beautiful music he ever wrote . He was buried at Marx Cemetery , & there was no grave stone or mark too  were he was buried . In 1856 in 100 years after Mozart had been born, there were celebrations in Salzburg.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote more than 600 works this was a great number for any composer. It was more astonishing when we think about how young he was when he died. Here are some of his works : 41 Symphonies , 27 Piano Concertos , 5 Viloin Concertos , 27 Concert Arias , 23 String Quarters , 18 Masses , & 22 Operas . Thank You !
