Info for Mozart: Piano Quartets
Mozart lived and died at a time when composers wrote their works for very specific occasions, and he would probably be very surprised at the reverence that many musicians and music lovers pay to his oeuvre today.
Born in Salzburg, he showed a phenomenal talent for music from a very early age. His father Leopold was a renowned violinist and provided his son with a thorough musical education before taking him on concert tours to the royal courts of Europe. Leopold hoped that his son would be employed as the first musician to the Archbishop of Salzburg, but at the age of 25 Wolfgang could no longer bear the intellectual confinement of the prelate and his royal seat and settled in Vienna as a freelance musician.
His list of works already included several hundred compositions, including various masterpieces, but in the next decade he created some of the most ingenious, clear-sighted and complex pieces of music of all time with the operas Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte and Die Zauberflöte. There were also a number of extraordinary instrumental compositions: Symphonies, piano concertos (with which he was able to distinguish himself as a keyboard virtuoso), quartets and quintets (he was also an accomplished violinist) and much more. His early death at the age of just 35 is considered by many to be the greatest tragedy in music history.
