 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mozart himself is universally recognized as a musical genius, having learned to compose at the age of five and showing an encyclopedic grasp of almost every musical form of his time despite having lived only for 35 years.
Mozart was born in Salzburg, which is now in modern-day Austria but at the time was the capital of a small independent Archbishopric within the Holy Roman Empire, to his father Leopold, and his mother Anna Maria Pertl Mozart.
Mozart is unusual among composers for being the subject of an abundance of legend, much due to the problem that not one of his early biographers knew him personally and resorted to fiction in order to produce a work.

Mozart was born in the city of Salzburg, part of the independent clerical state Erzfürstbistum Salzburg, Holy Roman Empire (in that time not part of Austria) and christened Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, after his grandfather on his mother's side and after the Saint on his date of birth, Johannes Chrysostomus.
Mozart lived much of his life in Salzburg but traveled Europe extensively and spent his final years in Vienna, where one of the apartments he lived in is still to be visited at Domgasse 5 behind St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Mozart's distinction as a genius and prodigy has sometimes operated as a cause of confusion and distraction in the estimation of his music, since Mozart's greatness as a composer derives from what many regard as the beauty, profundity, expressive and emotional subtlety, unique imagination, and grandeur of his music.

The latest work from the ever sharp pencil of the American-Swabian jack-of-all-trades, crack trombonist, and composer Mike Svoboda is, despite its premiere in the genteel setting of the Nationaltheater in Mannheim, rather modest and unassuming, in the communicative style of a theatrical chamber concert.
If Mozart were around today, he would probably have created something very similar, and probably drawn on many resources just as the composer Svoboda did.
Svoboda’s composition is organized around the foil of the colorful da Ponte opera Così fan tutte, in which the question of love and the ability to love was asked and then given an answer, or left unanswered, in a way appropriate to its time.
