What did Mozart do to become famous? Why should Mozart be remembered?

Question

-His full name Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Okay this is for a project, of course i know who he is just i need details

Answer 1

Well, for starters, he wrote Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when he was four years old.

His musical career skyrocketed after that.

Answer 2

Some of the answers above me are just wrong!!!

Ok, for starters, Mozart did not write "Twinkle Twinkle" when he was 4. He wrote a theme and variations on the tune "Ah Je vous diras, Mamman" when he was about 11 or 12. That tune is now used as the same tune as Twinkle. However, it was a pre-existing folk tune, and all he did was play around with it.

Secondly, he didn't compose during the Baroque Era. The Baroque era ended in 1750, with the death of Johann Sebastian Bach. Mozart was born in 1756.

Mozart was a child prodigy who, at 5 years old, was performing for royalty. By the age of 6 he was composing. By the time he was a teenager, he was composing symphonies and operas. He was one of the most proliffic composers of his day, writing over 40 symphonies. He was a composing genius!!

Last year (2006) was the 250th anniversary of his death.

Answer 3

1)he became a child prodigy. 2)mozart favored intelectuality if he didnt he wouldn't composed 600 works would he?mozart is remembered for his nice touch of music. we all know this by haydn(i am but a child compared to mozart)(he probably meant intelligence) and clementis (beautiful adagio)criticism and perhaps franz joseph. he might have a cruel side criticizing composers like clementi and perhaps beethoven(though not sure)(heck a good example are those tv shows that criticize singers like...american idol and such) but even with this "defect" he was admired by musicians of all categories. also Mozart behaved well some musicians are known to not behave well(he was never in prison)(imagine if mozart punched someone and went to prison he was not that type of person). so far Mozart did carried intelligence.if he was a sinverguenza worse he might have never been remembered or be just a simple name in music history. bach was remembered though he was in prison probably a sinverguenza but both stayed true to their principles. and so far Mozart children all turn out ok nothing strange going on.also constanze never divorced him unlike clementi poor clementi haha

Answer 4

Mozart was a musical genius at a very young age and wrote some of the most memorable music ever created. As a young man, he was charming and determined and even convinced the Emperor that dancing, which had been forbidden by the Emperor, was god and worthwhile in musical drama. He should be remembered for his music which lives on centuries after his death.

Chow!!

Answer 5

Mozart? Can't say I ever really heard of him. Unless you mean Henry Mozat, a guy I graduated high school with. I wouldn't really say old Henry was ever really famous, but he did briefly hold the record for eating the 22 oz sirloin the fastest at the local Sizzler. If you happen to see Henry, tell him I said hello. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

He was child prodigy in the area of music, both as a player and a composer. His work is in the Baroque genre, as is about as perfect as music gets. His music is still loved and played and listened to today. And there just aren't very many composers who are superior to him in history.

Answer 7

This question has to be a joke.

He composed some of the greatest music to ever be heard.

Answer 8

He suffered greatly like Van Gogh, and many great artists. I wish teachers would tell the whole stories of the artist before encouraging them into suicide or insanity.

Answer 9

In his day he was one of the best pop musicians and composers and had some really high profile gigs. Kind of like our rock stars. Also, people remember his tunes for their catchy melodies. Like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" for instance (I kid you not)

Answer 10

I believe he discovered the North Pole, and only had to eat 3 sled dogs along the way.
