Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - a Gifted Child Prodigy


Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, boy genius before turning 5 years old.
 
A glimpse of Mozart, from being baby Mozart until aged 5, when he started composing.
Years 1756-1760.

The pages in most Mozart biography books usually remain blank between his second day and before his fifth birthday. Naturally, a baby has to be cared for and to grow sometime. So did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Since his father Leopold already worked for the Prince Archbishop, it can be implied that Mozart was born into musical service.

Mozart began to play the harpsichord at three years old. Nannerl his sister gave a glimpse of what her baby brother was doing. According to her, Wolfgang spent a lot of time picking out small chords at the keyboard, and would be well pleased when his music sounded good.

The teenage years of Mozart were significant as he undertook more travels in Europe and compositions in the employ of the older supportive Archbishop of Salzburg, unlike the later, a less sympathetic archbishop.
