Mozart was the greatest musical genius the world has ever known.
His accomplishments were so breathtaking that they are hardly believable;
yet the amazing facts given here have all been authenticated. He could hear
any peice of music and recite it from memory. Once, Miserere was preforming,
and the Pope made it illegal for him to perform anywhere else. Mozart went to his
room and wrote the score to the whole performance! Before he died in 1791, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
had produced some 600 operas, operettas, concertos for piano and string quartet,
sonatas for the violin, serenades, motets, masses, and many other types of classical
music. Perhaps the most astounding fact about this prolific and brilliant
production is that Mozart only lived to the age of 35.
