Mozarts biography

When his mother passed away in seventeen seventy-eight, he returned home where his father had arranged another position for him as court organist. He and his mother set out in seventeen seventy-seven, but he didn’t have much luck. Mozart began to feel unsatisfied with his job and decided to travel all over in hopes of finding something more promising. As a result he had the opportunity to work in many different genres of music to compose symphonies, string quartets, sonatas and serenades and even some operas. In seventeen seventy-three, the archbishop selected young Mozart as assistant concertmaster. His father wanted to showcase his son’s musical talents as a composer and performer to as many people as possible. When he was a child he would travel with his family and perform where he could. In this time Mozart would come to be known as one of the most talented musical composers.

Around this time, music was developing from the music of the Renaissance and Baroque eras into more complete works with a more sophisticated development of instrumentation. Wolfgang Mozart was born in seventeen fifty-six in Salzburg, Austria.
