Born on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg , it was baptized there under the name of Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. His father, Leopold Mozart, undertook his musical education. He was leader at the court of the archbishop of Salzburg like violinist, type-setter and pedagogue.
As of the six years age, Mozart shows exceptional gifts for the pianoforte, the ancestor of the piano and for the violin. He astonished by his capacity to improvise and decipher the partitions.
In 1762, his/her father decided to take it along in round in the courses of Europe , where him a triumph was made. These voyages were testing for the child. To this time the first sonatas for harpsichord and violin, a symphony go back, and a first test of opera-puffs out, Finta Semplice (1768). Decorated by the pope about the gold Spur, it was also named Master in concert near the archbishop of Salzburg in 1769.
This year, it composed Bastien and Bastienne, inspired of the “Soothsayer of the village” of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In 1770, one ordered its first opera to him seriated, of ancient inspiration. This Mithridate, Re di Ponte, created in Milan , ensured in Mozart an international success as a type-setter.
Of return to Salzburg , Mozart succeeds in asserting himself, in spite of the little of interest for the music of the new Colloredo archbishop. The broad leisures which left him its load of Master in concert allowed him to be devoted to the composition. But Leopold, the father of Mozart decides, with the agreement of the archbishop, a new round in Europe in 1777, and Mozart, accompanied by his mother, set out again in round in the courses German and in Paris .
In the search of a stable station in a court of Europe , Mozart knew several disappointments. Attracted by the prestige musical of the city, it gained Mannheim where it hoped to be recognized. It went then to Paris but the effect “child prodigy”, had disappeared, and the twenty two year old young man, was nothing any more but one musician among so much of other.
He fell in love with the singer Aloysia Weber there. Failures in love, financial problems, Mozart were marked by the arrogance of the aristocrats and lived the death of his/her mother in Paris like an intimate drama. The return to Salzburg in 1779 put an end to the darkest period of the life of the type-setter.
Mozart, with the fact of his musical maturity, could invent a particular style and started to exploit new musical means. The success of Idomenee (1781) ensured to him the favors of the court salzbourgeoise .
Helped by some friends, it hoped to live there by giving lessons, and concerts by subscriptions.

Mozart, taking as a starting point the Turkish scenes then in vogue, composed Removal with the seraglio in 1782, year when he married finally the sister of Aloysia, Constance Weber.
On its arrival in Vienna all went for best. The subscriptions filled the tank, thanks to the benevolence of the Baron van Swietten, who was his friend until the end of the lifetime of Mozart. Little by little the disinterest for the music of Mozart settled and the couple started to have serious financial problems.
In collaboration with the large librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, Mozart could finally give the full measurement of its talent with operas like the Marriages of Figaro (1786), Don Juan (1787) and Cosifantutte (1790). Once more the love is with return of the operas of Mozart.
Canova sculptor of the 18me century immortalize the topic in ” Psyche revived by the kiss of the love “.If success in Prague of Don Juan were resounding, Mozart continued to suffer from the indifference Viennese, and the cabals assembled against him by his fellow-members like Antonio Salieri. Only an imperial order, the opera seriated the Clemence of Titus (1791), on a booklet of Metastasis, returned to Mozart a little hope.
Whereas he worked in new Singspiel on a fairy-like topic, the Magic Flute (1791), Mozart accepted the visit of a man venue of black which ordered a requiem to him. It left unfinished this ultimate and dark work. In the night of November 20, it feels suddenly very tired. Constancy makes come the doctor immediately. Doctor Klosset estimates that its state is serious. Puffiness with the hands and the feet lets suppose a renal affection. Quickly the health condition of Mozart still worsens and Doctor Klosset asks for the opinion of Doctor Sallaba, chief consultant of the General hospital.
