Features: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, an Austrian composer, was born on January 27, 1756, in Salzburg, Austria, and died on December 5, 1791, in Vienna, Austria, at the age of 35. Mozart's father came from a family engaged in crafts such as architecture, sculpture, and bookbinding, and it was an artistic family. Mozart's father was also a musician. He discovered Mozart's musical talent and therefore began teaching him music from the age of 4 using the exercise book he had compiled for his sister (titled "For Nannerl" in honor of his sister's affectionate nickname). At the age of 5, Mozart began composing music, and at 6, he performed at the court and received widespread praise for his exceptional performance. Later, under his father's guidance, Mozart traveled and performed across Europe, becoming extremely popular and hailed as a child prodigy. Inspired by this, Mozart began composing symphonies at the age of 8 and started formal music studies. At the age of 13, Mozart became a court musician and traveled throughout Europe, enjoying a happy life. Mozart despised servile work and left his position as a court musician after being accommodated by nobles and bishops. From the age of 25, he began his career as a musician. At the age of 26, he married Constanze Weber and began his busy life as a composer, performer, and teacher. Mozart was familiar with the music of Bach and Handel. At the age of 35, Mozart composed the opera "The Magic Flute," and shortly after, he suddenly passed away while composing the "Requiem," leaving behind a mysterious puzzle. Mozart left the "Requiem" unfinished, which was later completed by his students.
