WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART, MONTAGE WITH MUSIC AND TEXT

Montage of Mozart portraits accompanied by Vadim Chaimovich performing Mozart's Piano Sonata no. 10 in C major, K. 330 - III. Allegretto. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. Mozart was a child prodigy competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. 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 death. The circumstances of his early death, at the age of 35, have been much mythologized. © Jessica Wilson/Science Source
