Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

# Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Composed his first piece at five. Wrote his first symphony at eight. Produced over six hundred works in thirty-five years, including symphonies, operas, concertos, and chamber music that remain among the most performed compositions in the world. He was improvident, irreverent, and incapable of mediocrity. The Requiem was unfinished at his death and completed by a student. His burial was modest. His music, as it turned out, was immortal.
