What Makes Mozart Successful

Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or Wolfgang Mozart for short, was born on January 27, 1756. He was an Austrian composer that today is known as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. Mozart wrote in multiple musical genres, excelling in each one. Because of his range of expression, it made him seem the most universal of all composers.

Wolfgang was busy during his childhood, playing, and practicing his music; he did not get much of a chance to really experience being a child. His father was constantly pushing him to be better, to play hard, and to make more money. Mozart and his father were evidently close, there are many different views to how Leopold fathered his children; some say he was a money hungry truant, others say he was sweet, sensitive, wanted the best for his children, and that the money didn’t matter. I believe that Leopold want the best for his children, and maybe a little money out of it. Eventually, Mozart wanted to leave his native home of Salzburg, he was most likely tired of his father constantly trying to control his life. Having knowledge of the lack of jobs in Vienna, and disregarding his fathers pleads, Mozart left his home anyways, heading for Vienna with no steady job.

     Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is said to be the greatest genius in western music history. Wolfgang Amadeus was born in Salzburg, Austria January 27, 1756 his parents were Leopold Mozart and Anna Maria Pertl. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s father was a successful composer, violinist, and assistant concertmaster at the Salzburg court. The

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was blessed with the a musical intelligence. This intelligence gave him the ability to perform and compose music. As a child Mozart was a prodigy since childhood. Mozart was composing music as early of the age of 5. His music wasn't pots and pans banging together. Mozart's music was extraordinary, he had composed 600 plus works by his mid 20s. He could feel the rhythm and knew exactly what to do with it. If this kind of intelligence does not fit Mozart, then I have no idea what could.

He is what most people consider a musical prodigy, yet evidence suggests quite the opposite. Mozart became so famous when he actually succeeded at a slower rate than other people, which goes to show the effects of hard work. People who have the free will and mental capacity to work harder towards their goals will come to succeed even quicker than a famed “child prodigy” like Mozart.

In the novel “90 miles to Havana” by Enrique Floris Galbis, the author uses the characters to drive the plot. Characters distribute information for the reader to have an exceptional understanding of the structure. The two main characters that Flores-Galbis uses to do this are the protagonist, Julian and the antagonist, Caballo. The relationship between the two characters is very confrontational and complex. In several experiences, Caballo has proceeded as an egotistical and an imperious character while Julian is contradictory to Caballo and is more reserved.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the greatest composers of the classical period. Mozart was bound to be successful after many achievements at a young age. At the age of 6 he could play the violin and the harpsichord, and he also perfected first sight. And Then at the age of eight he wrote his first symphony, than a couple years later at the age of eleven an oratorio and finally at the twelve an opera. To me that’s a really good resume its so remarkable how he could learn about music so much at a very young age. All of these achievements could not go unrecognized. The archbishop recognized him and gave him a job for his teenage years. But Mozart was too much to handle he wanted to write whatever he want and not the archbishop so he quit. After

He was one of the most well-known and influential composers in the Classical Era. In the early years of his life, Mozart proved to be a prodigy. Growing up he “mastered the universal technical difficulties of musical composition, such as counterpoint, harmony, fugue, variation, instrumentation, and formal planning (of arias, ensembles, sonatas, and rondos); yet all this learning never suppressed the element of fantasy. Mozart excelled in virtually every genre and style” (Rushton, Paragraph 1) Mozart composed over 600 works varying from concertos, operas, sonatas, and symphonies. During the years 1782—1785, Mozart performed a series of concerts, earing him a substantial amount of wealth. In 1786, he returned to opera where his career began to slowly decline, causing him and his family to change from the comfortable lifestyle they grew accustom to living frugally. 1791, the year Mozart died was a year of great productivity. He wrote many new works, such as The Magic Flute, Clarinet Concerto K.622, and Ave verum corpus K.618. Unfortunately, he became ill and his health began to deteriorate. He died December 5th, 1791 at the age of

In Salzburg, Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756. Wolfgang was the only son of Leopold and Maria Pertl Mozart to survive. Wolfgang began learning about music when he was three years old, watching his sister Nannerl play the keyboard. He was a musical prodigy, composing his first piece at 5, and beginning “tours” with his father at 6 years old. When Wolfgang turned 13, his father took him to Italy to show off this young boy’s talents. Before Mozart turned 21, he was appointed to be assistant concertmaster. It was at this time that he wrote his first opera. Mozart left on another tour in 1777, and then returned to Salzburg to be a court organist. He soon decided he was not so fond of this position, and resigned to become a freelance musician in Vienna. When he moved to Vienna, he married Constanze Weber, against his father’s wishes. Wolfgang lived in luxury during the beginning of his life in Vienna, he was producing popular operas. Soon, though, he began to lack money, and took loans that would leave him in debt for the rest of his life. In the final years of Mozart’s life, he was most productive, writing his most famous symphonies, The Magic Flute, and of course,

Mozart was an extremely childish, immature person; yet one of the most talented musicians of all time.

Mozart was a prolific and most influential composer of the classical era. As a mere toddler he began to observe his sister’s lessons with their father, developing a keen ear, and showing signs of surprising comprehension. His father, Leopold, was himself a successful composer, violinist and assistant concert master of the Salzburg Court. Both Mozart and his sister were tutored by their father, a dedicated and task-oriented pedagogue. Young Mozart progressed anon, excelling even above his father’s pedagogic genius. At the verdant age of six, he performed as a child prodigy at royal courts in London, Paris, and Zurich. Mozart’s youth was spent fully engaged in touring and performance. These tours were financed through donors and patrons. Through the years, and while abroad, Mozart met many accomplished musicians such as Johann

Mozart was a very influential and prolific composer of more than 600 works, including symphonies, concertante, chamber, piano, opera, and choral music. Regarded as a child prodigy, Mozart composed and performed in the European courts from the age of five, and was engaged at the Salzburg court at 17. Mozart’s musical style can be classified as Classical, although he learned from many of his contemporaries throughout his musical career. In order to better understand Mozart’s genius it is best to begin looking at his earliest contributions to the musical world as a child. From there, an exploration of his

The human mind is constantly processing and picking up information. Music is an ordered and predictable sequence of sounds. When the brain hears music, it tries to decode it. In decoding those symbols and patterns, it sets up “neural highways, or synapses” , to receive and examine data. These pathways then can be used for remembering other symbol-oriented information, such as language and math. Like a muscle, the brain becomes stronger the more it is worked, and these workouts are achieved by listening to classical music. Mozart’s music is exceptionally difficult to decode, therefore the brain must work harder, thus making one smarter.
