what do you know about mozart?

Answer 1

He was a great composer, an alcoholic and he slept around. At the end of his life he became a total ruin. He had absolute hearing which means that he could write down the notes of music he heard, usually without any mistakes.
He composed a funny piece called 'Roll with butter' at the age of four, and the music is to imitate the act of spreading butter on a roll.

These are the facts. I played Mozart at school. It was fun

Answer 2

Mozart was born in late January, 1756, and died on 5 Dec 1791. His father was Leopold Mozart, and he was also a musician, as was Mozart's son Franz Xavier. Mozart's father was one of those ambitious, pushy types, and he carted both Wolfgang & Nannerl, (Wolfgang's sister) around Western Europe & England, and had them performing music. Mozart was much influenced by Johann Christian Bach "the London Bach", whom he met there, as well as Michael Haydn, Joseph's younger brother.
Mozart wrote music in every category that was going at the time, including: sonatas, symphonies, operas, masses, concertos, quartets, quintets, you name it.
There are some people who say that Mozart was running out of creative steam towards the end of his life, but I would argue that if you listen to "The Magic Flute", or "Don Giovanni", or his Requiem that he was writing music that was innovative and even a little ahead of its time, this was not "pot boiler" music.
If you are studying Mozart, you MUST listen to his clarinet concerto, the clarinet quintet in A, Don Giovanni, "The Crowning Mass, in German Die Kronnigsmesse", "Exultate Jubilate" & Mozart's Alleluia, and his requiem. For starters... (The only Mozart work I would really not recommend would be his arrangement of Handel's "Messiah", which he tried to "update", and make "accessible" to a late 18th century audience, and in so doing, lost some of the dramatic impact Handel's original had.)
The classic work about Mozart's life is Alfred Einstein's book, "Mozart." I also saw a very good three part documentary on Mozart on the television recently.
