Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Mozart 1756- 179 1)

Mozart is an outstanding composer in Austria, born in a family of court musicians in Salzburg. He has shown outstanding musical talent since he was a teenager, and his life works are extremely rich. His most important field of creation is opera, with 22 pieces in total, and another important field of creation is symphony, with 45 pieces in total. His music creation not only inherited and developed the achievements of Haydn and others, but also had an important influence on the later creations of Beethoven and others.

Mozart may not be the greatest composer, but he is definitely recognized as the greatest musical genius. Even the great musician Tchaikovsky called him music Christ. Someone once said: "There was a bright moment in the history of music, when all the opponents reconciled and all the tensions were eliminated. That bright moment was Mozart."

Wolfgang mozart was born in Salzburg on 1756. He showed unparalleled musical talent from an early age: he began to play the piano at the age of 3, began to compose music at the age of 6, wrote his first symphony at the age of 8, completed his first opera at the age of 1 1, and conducted at the age of 14. It can be said that Mozart was born for music, and from the moment he was born, he was integrated with music.

/kloc-at the age of 0/6, Mozart was appointed as an organist in the Salzburg court. Although Mozart created many excellent works during this period, he could not stand the bossing and bullying of the Archbishop of Salzburg. There, Mozart was just a servant who could play the piano. He once described his companions at the palace dinner to his father like this: two footmen, a housekeeper, a pastry chef and two chefs. The footmen sat at the top table and Mozart was above the chefs. Finally, in 178 1 year, Mozart broke away from the dependence on the archbishop and became the first free composer in history, and came to Vienna for development. In Vienna, Mozart made a living by teaching private students, giving concerts and publishing works. During this period, Mozart came into contact with Bach and Handel's works and got to know Haydn, thus enriching his musical thoughts.

In Vienna, Mozart's musical achievements are amazing. He once described his music creation as follows: "No matter how long the work is, it is done in my mind. I take out what I have stored from my memory. So the speed of writing on paper is still quite fast, because everything is complete, and its appearance on paper is similar to what I imagined. So I'm not afraid of being disturbed at work. No matter what happens, I can even write and talk. " It's a pity that such a genius died of cold when he was in his prime, at the age of 35. On the last day of his life (197 1 65438+9 February), he was still writing. Unfortunately, God is jealous of talent. Mozart left his unfinished requiem and died, which became one of the greatest regrets in the history of music.

Although Mozart's life is full of ups and downs, his music always brings people real pure beauty. Romain rolland, a famous music critic, said of Mozart: "His music is a portrayal of life, but it is a beautified life. Although melody is a reflection of the spirit, it must please the spirit without hurting the body or hearing. Therefore, in Mozart's view, music is the expression of harmony in life. Not only his operas, but also all his works. His music, no matter what it looks like, always points to the mind rather than intelligence, always expresses emotion or passion, but there is no unpleasant or abrupt passion. "

Of course, if you want to comment on Mozart's music completely, it is by no means a thousand words that can be expressed. To truly understand Mozart, the most important thing is to listen to his works. Almost every capital of his more than 1000 works is an extraordinary classic.
