Description:
(One of the Greatest Composers in the History of Western Music)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sits at the top of the list of music composers who hold a special place in the world of music. In a short span of 35 years, he became the most celebrated musician, writing almost 600 musical pieces all of which are hailed as masterpieces. Throughout his life, Mozart traveled all over the world, composed in abundance, remained a voracious student of music, and experimented with almost all genres of music. His works are considered to be the pinnacles of symphonies, operas, and chamber music. The final phase of his life was very productive, as some of his best-known operas, symphonies, and concertos belong to that period. His friend Joseph Haydn wrote, ‘posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years.’ Not only did he contribute immensely to the world of music during the classical era, but also had a profound influence on the subsequent Western art music.
