Music Paper

I would like to write about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He was born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg to Leopold and Anna Mozart. He had a sister named Maria Anna Mozart, who also was musically talented. Mozart as a young boy showed talent from the beginning of his life. He never attended a proper school, which was a custom for children of that time. He passed away December 5, 1791 and was only 35 when he died. He received a very cheap funeral and was buried in an anonymous grave along with several other people's bodies in a mass grave.

I would say that a lot of his musical training came from his father. Some of his career achievements were when he was 5 he began composing and he also performed before the European Royalty. When he was seventeen he was a court musician in Salzburg. In 1788 he wrote three symphonies in about only seven weeks that is really fast. Some of his greatest achievements were a few of his Operas. The Abduction from the Seraglio, Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, The Singspiel, Cosi Fan Tutte and also The Magic Flute. He also wrote over six hundred pieces.

Symphony number 31 in D Major or also known as Paris Symphony is a work that represents the classical period. One attribute it has to show it represents the classical period is that the symphony was laid out in fast slow fast form. Another attribute that helps show it represents the classical period is that it had a large instrumentation. Also the song is mainly homophonic which was also known for songs during the classical period.

Another work that represents the classical period is Piano Concerto number 24. Its attributes are that this song has a large instrumentation. The song is homophonic. And it has a piano.

During his life, Mozart really didn't have such an easy time, and he was often restless, which actually lead to his dismissal from his position as a court musician in Salzburg. He also had a very hard time keeping the support of the aristocracy and died with hardly anything to his name. While his mother accompanied him in Paris she passed away and he had to overcome that which I think would be really difficult. He also had money struggles he had to overcome.

He had a hard time starting out his career and it took a while to really get to where he wanted to go. His dad was very possessive and controlling especially when Mozart was beginning to become more independent.

Mozart's accomplishments and style of which he obtained them made a big impact on the music world forever. Rossini studied Mozart's symphonies and operas, which made an impact on how Rossini's direction in music would go. Beethoven met Mozart while he lived in Vienna. Very inspired by his meeting with Mozart and his works, he introduced some of Mozart's pieces and put some of it into his own work. Not all people were influenced by just his pieces alone; people also really believed that his music came from God.
