A biography of Mozart's story

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was an Austrian composer. In the history of Western music, only Mozart is undoubtedly recognized as a rare talent, and his short 35-year career has left an extremely valuable and rich musical legacy for mankind.

Born in 1756 in Salzburg (now part of Austria) in Bavaria, Mozart showed unusual musical talent from an early age, and the careful and rigorous enlightenment education of his father Leopold enabled Mozart to lay a solid foundation for acting and composing from an early age. When Mozart was 6 years old (1762), his father took him and his sister, Maria and Anna, who also had musical talents, to the courts of various countries to perform. In the next 10 years, it was a period of great popularity and eye-opening for little Mozart, and Vienna, Paris, London, Rome and other important capitals and courts in Europe at that time were amazed by this little genius. With his extraordinary memory and brilliant comprehension, Mozart absorbed a large and rapid amount of all the beautiful sounds and techniques from London J. Mozart. C． Bach's Harpsichord Concerto went to Alegri's "May Mercy" in Italy; he studied singing with Manzoli and studied Fuchs's Composition of Tsingles at the urging of his father. Mozart later wrote: "No one has spent so much time and effort on composition as I have, and there is no work of a famous master that I have not studied repeatedly. "By this time, he already had a fair amount of creation. For example, counting from the small steps that Mozart wrote when he was 5 years old, his compositions at this time have involved religious genres such as Mass, Vespers, hymns, opera, singing drama, song and improvisational singing; and various instrumental genres popular in the 18th century, from frolic, revelry, and dance to sonatas and ensembles, from concertos to symphonies.

The nearly 10 years from 1772 to 1781 were the second period of Mozart's creation, beginning with Theronimos Corloredo becoming the new Archbishop of Salzburg until Mozart could not bear the humiliation of the Bishop and resigned in anger to go to Vienna alone. In addition to his travels abroad from 1777 to 1778, during which he met the musicians of the Mannheim Orchestra and listened to their works and performances, Mozart basically remained in Salzburg to compose in various genres, while also working as an organist in the bishop's court. Mozart of this period composed Mass ("coronation", "solemnity", etc.), several operas (the most important of which was the 1780 opera "Cretan King Idomeniu"), for the solo group, and other wind concertos (K. Mozart), for the solo group, and other wind concertos (K. Mozart). 217, K.219 violin, K.313 flute, K.314 oboe, K.299 flute and harp concerto, etc.), the first 10 piano concertos and the first 13 sonatas, including the Paris Symphony (K. 297, 1778), including nearly 20 symphonic works and quartets and other types of ensembles. Mozart filled this suffocating period with his busy creations, and gradually matured in the process of constant conflict with the bishop, with the continuous accumulation of creative experience and 25 years of richer life experience than ordinary people, making him full of confidence and hope for his ability and future. Ignoring the advice of his father, who had always taught him, he resolutely left the bishop to become a free artist. In Austria in the 1780s, in the atmosphere of the French and German enlightenment spirit, the consciousness that human values were determined not by birth but by talent and morality began to be widely accepted by the intellectual class of society, which undoubtedly contributed to Mozart's major decision on this road of life.

The last 10 years were Mozart's glorious period, his amazing creative power made masterpieces frequent, but the free life in Vienna was not satisfactory, Mozart married and had children with the girl of his choice in 1782, and the life after becoming a family needed to be independent and struggling, Mozart was busy teaching, performing, negotiating with publishers, and creating a large number of commissioned works, and the economic pressure of not making ends meet was never freed; at the same time, Mozart's life and creation experience showed unprecedented fullness. The list of fine crystals that can be listed is dizzying. He composed and played piano concertos for weekly concerts, and he went to baron von Schweten's house to participate in regular musical events, not only to play quartets with Dietersthof regularly, but also to listen to and study J. Schwartz. S． Bach and haydn's work, during which he and Haydn understood each other and developed a deep friendship with each other. Mozart's work at this time is full of his unique perfection and affection, and also permeates his respect for the masters of his predecessors, such as the six quartets dedicated to Haydn, the late Prussian Quartet, and his use of J. S． Bach and Bach's eldest son, W. Bach. F． Bach's fugue adaptation of the ensemble (K. Bach' fugue adaptation) 404) and so on. The finest operas and symphonies were also completed continuously during this period: the operas The Harem Escape (1782), The Marriage of Figaro (1786), Don Juan (1787), The Magic Flute (1791), from K. Hafner. 385, 1782) to the last three symphonies (K. 543, 550, 551, 1788), etc., of course, there is the unfinished Mass of the Requiem and many other works. On December 5, 1791, the impoverished mozart died with the music and regrets of his heart, but what was left to posterity was a musical legacy that no wealth could match.

It has been said that Mozart's music is indescribable. "Mozart is music" seems to be the most appropriate word to praise Mozart's legacy. He composed operas, symphonies, concertos, sonatas, quartets and other ensemble and heavy forms, with a large number of instrumental music. Compositions, solos, etc., encompass almost all areas of music, and the characteristics and most prominent contributions of Mozart's music can be illustrated by operas, concertos and symphonies.
