WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART = Iconic Musicians Series

.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (born 27-01-1756 - died 05-12-1791), was an Austrian

composer, widely recognized as one of the greatest composers in the history

of Western music. Unlike any other composer in musical history, he wrote in

all the musical genres of his day and excelled in every one.

His taste, his command of form, and his range of expression have made him seem

the most universal of all composers.

.

Mozart was born to a family of good standing and from a musical background.

He and his sister Maria Anna were the only two of seven children to survive.

From an early age, the young Mozart showed all the signs of a prodigious musical

talent. By the age of five, he could read and write music, and he would entertain

people with his talents on the keyboard. By the age of six, he was writing his

first compositions, and by the age of eight had composed his first symphony !

His father was quick to see the talent of his young son and became a formidable

publicist in showing off his son’s capacities. During his childhood, Mozart

was a frequent guest at various palaces around Europe, playing for distinguished

guests and royalty.

Dressed in the finest clothes, the child-genius left an indelible impression

on everyone he met. One of the pre-eminent composers of the day Johann Hasse

remarked, “He has done things which for such his age are really incomprehensible,

they would be astonishing in an adult.”

.

For a while he travelled and toured all over Europe and even visited England,

and by the age of 17 he accepted a post as a court musician in Salzburg, although

this did not suit him very well. He complained at the lack of independence from

his patron Prince-Archbishop the ruler of Salzburg. He also felt unappreciated

because he earned so little money for his work. Yet, despite dissatisfaction the

next few years were a time of prolific composition. In 1777, he grew tired of

the demands placed on him by his patron and negotiated the release from his

contract. He left Salzburg and after travelling to Paris and Germany, he moved

permanently to Vienna, Austria, where he lived for the remainder of his life.

.

In Vienna, he became well known and was often in demand as a composer and

performer. His dazzling and innovative new compositions were generally admired,

although, like many genii, he was ahead of his time.

Some criticised his symphonies for being too complicated, however, he received

very sincere praise of all the great composers of the era.

Despite his relative fame, he struggled to manage his finances and moved between

periods of poverty and prosperity. A trait of Mozart’s character was that he

was frivolous with money. He enjoyed spending money on fancy clothes and other

luxuries and he was frequently in debt.

Another aspect of Mozart’s character was a playfulness and high-spirits, which

could also appear like childishness. He enjoyed pranks and a rough sense of

humour, and his care-free attitude could get him into difficulties with the

more serious-minded court officials. Yet, Mozart was a man of great contrast

and counterpoint. The one moment he could be making a crude joke, the next he

could be composing the most sublime and divine musical song.

.

In 1782, he married the lady Constanze, against the wishes of his father.

He remained very close to her for the rest of his life and was very much in love.

They had six children but only two survived infancy.

His financial difficulties were enhanced in 1786 when Austria was involved in a

war which led to lower demand for musicians. Mozart wrote many letters begging

for financial support from patrons and friends and he supplemented his income

by teaching and performing his works.

.

In the last year of his life, he began composing one of his greatest works,

"The Requiem". Mozart died at age 35 , before he could finish it.

Reasons for his death are not clear. The most likely is a sudden illness possibly

the plague or possibly a combination of rheumatoid arthritis and pneumonia.

Mozart was near bankrupt when he died and he was given a modest burial of a

citizen.

.

The work of Mozart is epic in scope and proportion. There were few branches of

music Mozart did not touch. He composed operas, symphonies, concertos, and solo

pieces for the piano. His work spanned from joyful light-hearted pieces to

powerful, challenging compositions which touched the emotions.

At the beginning of his career, Mozart had a powerful ability to learn and

remember from the music he heard from others. He was able to incorporate the

style and music of people such as Haydn and J.S.Bach. As he matured, he developed

his very own style and interpretations. In turn, the music of Mozart very much

influenced the early young Ludwig Van Beethoven.

.
