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, making it an artistic lineage. Mozart's father was also a musician. He discovered Mozart's musical talent and, starting at the age of 4, used a collection of exercises he had compiled for his sister (titled "The Notebook for Nannerl") to teach Mozart music. Mozart began composing at the age of 5 and performed at court at the age of 6, receiving widespread praise for his exceptional performances. Later, under his father's guidance, Mozart traveled and performed across Europe, becoming extremely popular and hailed as a child prodigy. Inspired, Mozart started composing symphonies from the age of 8 and began formal musical 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 to avoid being subservient to 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 embarked on a 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 died suddenly while working on his "Requiem," leaving behind a mysterious puzzle. Mozart left the "Requiem" unfinished, which was later completed by his student. Representative Works: Variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (1778), Piano Sonata No. 11, Turkish March (1781–1783), Opera "The Marriage of Figaro" (1785–1786), String Serenade (1787)
