Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Born in Salzburg, in the Holy Roman Empire, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his early death at the age of 35. The circumstances of his death have been much mythologized.

The final is at:

N 38 19.ABC

A: Mozart was born on January 27, 175(A).

B: After finally returning with his father from Italy on March (B)3, 1773, Mozart was employed as a court musician by the ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo.

C: Mozart married Constanze Weber on August 4, 1782 and had (C) children, of whom only two survived infancy.

W 120 58.DEF

D: His opera, Don Giovanni, premiered in October 178(D).

E: Mozart was born at Getreidegasse (E) in Salzburg.

F: Mozart fell ill while in Prague for the premiere, on 6 September 1791, of his opera La clemenza di Tito, which was written in that same year on commission for the Emperor's coronation festivities. He continued his professional functions for some time and conducted the premiere of The Magic Flute on 30 September. His health deteriorated on 2(F) November, at which point he became bedridden, suffering from swelling, pain, and vomiting.
