| | Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus |
 | | Mozart also possessed an extraordinary, innate ability for improvisation, and he could sight-read difficult pieces of music astonishingly well. |
 | | Mozart, the young prodigy, astonished audiences by sight-reading anything given to him, by providing the names of any notes or chords one sang or played, and by performing difficult songs with a piece of cloth hung in front of the keys of the clavichord so he could not see his hands. |
 | | Franz Joseph Haydn, himself an extremely famous composer, once said to Mozart’s father, “Before God and as an honest man, your son is the greatest composer I know, either personally or by name.” Indeed, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s life impacted music’s history in a way that cannot ever possibly be forgotten. |
