古典音樂巡禮：Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (莫紮特)

---

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (January 27, 1756 – December 5, 1791) was an Austrian composer and musician who is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential composers in the history of Western classical music. Born in Salzburg, Mozart displayed prodigious talent from an early age. He composed his first pieces of music at the tender age of five and quickly gained fame as a keyboard virtuoso and composer. Mozart's extensive body of work spans various genres, including symphonies, operas, concertos, chamber music, and choral music. His compositions are characterized by their melodic beauty, intricate structures, and emotional depth. Some of his most famous works include the operas "The Marriage of Figaro," "Don Giovanni," and "The Magic Flute"; the Requiem Mass in D minor; and symphonies No. 40 in G minor and No. 41 in C major, also known as the "Jupiter" Symphony. Throughout his life, Mozart traveled extensively and held various positions at different courts and cities. Despite his extraordinary output and talent, he struggled financially and died at the young age of 35. His early death has been the subject of much speculation, with theories ranging from poisoning to rheumatic fever. Today, Mozart's music continues to be celebrated and performed worldwide, and he is revered for his profound impact on the development of Western classical music.
