ABOUT WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756–1791)

Mozart was performing for European royalty at six, composing symphonies at eight, and writing operas in his early teens. The child prodigy story is so well known it has become difficult to see past - which is a shame, because the adult composer was more interesting than the legend.

He settled in Vienna in 1781, broke free from his employer the Archbishop of Salzburg in a dispute that ended with him being literally kicked out of the room, and spent the rest of his short life as one of the first composers to attempt a living as a freelance artist rather than a court servant. It was a precarious existence that left him perpetually short of money and endlessly productive.

His output in the final decade of his life is staggering in both quantity and quality. The last three symphonies, composed in six weeks in the summer of 1788. The six string quartets dedicated to Haydn, which Haydn received with the declaration that Mozart was the greatest composer he knew. The operas - Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, The Magic Flute - each a masterwork, collectively a transformation of the form.

He died at thirty-five, leaving the Requiem unfinished. What he might have written in another thirty years is the most tantalizing unanswered question in the history of music.
