Who is this Mozart guy? Why does he have a pony tail? Can I google koogle him?
Instead of giving some boring Mozart details about his greatness, see below some interesting facts that made Mozart a genius of classical music and an international symbol still present 500 years after his death.
-
He wrote his first composition at just 4 years old.
Can you say that about Tiesto, David Guetta, Marshmellow or Calvin Harris? I doubt it.
A true musical prodigy, Mozart was already highly skilled at the clavier and violin by age 5. His composer and violinist father, Leopold, transcribed Mozart’s earliest compositions for him. He performed his first composition before European royalty and toured a lot as a child musician.
-
Mozart was a contemporary Chandler Bing.
Much as Chandler’s talent in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration, Mozart’s musical genius also included a certain fondness for humor. Interestingly enough, by studying the letters he has sent over the years to his family, it seems his family shared the same sense of humor. Just like in Friends.
-
His full name was “Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.”
Try saying that 10 times fast. His preferred name was the much shorter “Wolfgang Amadè,” though his spelling of the name varied in official documents, appearing as “Amadé,” “Amadè,” plain “Amade” and even “Adam.”
-
Cat memes, anyone?
Mozart had many pets, among them a dog, a canary, a horse as well as a starling. He just loved them! Probably, he would be the one still posting animal content on social media. It’s even sad, that Mozart imitated cat noises when he was bored. In this sense: Meow
