    Life

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes
    Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the
    Classical period. Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition resulted in more than 600
    works of virtually every genre of his time. Many of these compositions are acknowledged as
    pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoire. Mozart was
    among the greatest composers in the history of Western music, and his elder colleague Joseph
    Haydn wrote: "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".

    While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to
    stay in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in
    Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions
    of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his early death at the age of 35. The
    circumstances of his death are largely uncertain, and have thus been much mythologized.

    The boy’s early talent for music was remarkable. At three he was picking out chords on
    the harpsichord, at four playing short pieces, at five composing. There are anecdotes about his
    precise memory of pitch, about his scribbling a concerto at the age of five, and about his
    gentleness and sensitivity (he was afraid of the trumpet). Just before he was six, his father took
    him and Nannerl, also highly talented, to Munich to play at the Bavarian court, and a few months
    later they went to Vienna and were heard at the imperial court and in noble houses.

    When he was in Vienna, in January 1781, Mozart's opera Idomeneo premiered with
    "considerable success" in Munich. The following March, Mozart was summoned to Vienna,
    where his employer, Archbishop Colloredo, was attending the celebrations for the accession of
    Joseph II to the Austrian throne. For Colloredo, this was simply a matter of wanting his musical
    servant to be at hand (Mozart indeed was required to dine in Colloredo's establishment with the
    valets and cooks). However, Mozart was planning a bigger career even as he continued in the
    archbishop's service; for example, he wrote to his father:

    "My main goal right now is to meet the emperor in some agreeable fashion, I am
    absolutely determined he should get to know me. I would be so happy if I could whip through
    my opera for him and then play a fugue or two, for that's what he likes"
    The Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183/173dB, was written by the then 17-year-old
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in October 1773,[1] shortly after the success of his opera seria Lucio
    Silla. It was supposedly completed in Salzburg on October 5, a mere two days after the
    completion of his Symphony No. 24, although this remains unsubstantiated. Its first movement
    was used as the opening music in Miloš Forman's film Amadeus.
