A passage About A Creative Person

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Born in1756 in Salzburg, the capital of the sovereign Archbishopric of Salzburg, in what is now Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart started to play the piano at the age of three. By the time he was five, he started playing the violin and the pipe organ and could compose little pieces. When he was six, he showed his prodigies by going on several trips with his father and his sister touring in Europe. It is the time that he met Johann Christian Bach and Schubert Johann and learned composing symphony. He composed his first symphony at the age of eight and wrote his first opera at twelve. However, as he grew older, people lost interests in his born to be musical talent. Mozart married Canstanza Weber in 1782 and composed so many pieces that earned considerable money living happy decades in their early marriage life. But the couple didn't manage their money well and during the same time Mozart's health went straight down and so did his wife. It was in his last decade that he wrote so many famous opera such as The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni. In 1791, a stranger came to knock Mozart's door and asked him for composing requiem and he regarded the man as a messenger of his death. He died in December in the same year, leaving his requiem unfinished. His federal held in haste. Nobody knew where he was buried.
