He was a musical prodigy, composing his first piece at 5, and beginning “tours” with his father at 6 years old.

From the Top is a great organization which many individuals strongly support. This show takes place every Saturday. There is a host and young performers, mostly teens, which perform on camera and on the radio station. The host or even a famous musician introduces the performer.

Through the performers’ facial expressions and

Numerous composers were interesting to me although Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stood out the most. The shape of the Enlightenment principles was of Mozart life and music. Mozart lived a strangely compressed life. During the last years of Mozart’s life, he lived in poverty, because he could not manage his finances, and struggle against the prevailing system of aristocratic.
