Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the world's most renowned composer of classical music. His whole life was connected with music, the first work was written by little Amadeus at the age of 5, the last - on his deathbed. Mozart lived only 36 years, but during this time he created 652 works, many of which became truly great.
Perhaps the world would not have known about Amadeus Mozart if his father Leopold had not been a musician and had not discerned the boy's talent in time. However, according to the majority, Mozart would not be who he became if it were not for the special connection between him and God. Amadeus did not just write divine reproductions, he created his own unique style, which does not overlap the imprint of time.
"The Marriage of Figaro" - the pinnacle of operatic works
Among the musical works of Mozart, the most popular are operas, both classical and comic. Throughout his life, Amadeus wrote more than 20 operas, including such pearls of art as Don Juan, The Magic Flute, The School of Lovers, The Abduction from the Seraglio and, of course, The Marriage of Figaro.
Amadeus did not want to have a permanent job, so he could at any time take part in any project he was interested in. Thanks to this system, most of Mozart's works appeared.
Mozart composed the music for The Marriage of Figaro for 5 months, starting in December 1785. The premiere of the opera took place on May 1, 1786 in Vienna, despite the fact that many did not want it. Salieri and many of Count Rosenberg's court theater realized from rehearsals that Figar's Wedding was a masterpiece of a higher level of art. They tried in every possible way to postpone the premiere, fearing that they would lose their own authority after it.
The premiere did win Mozart, despite the fact that The Marriage of Figaro was banned for some time due to its content. Over the past 2 centuries, this victory has not only not faded, but has shone even more.
"Requiem" - the last work of Mozart
In 1791, a mysterious customer contacted Mozart anonymously, offering to write a requiem to be performed at the funeral of his deceased wife. At this point, Amadeus was already suffering from an then unknown disease and decided to accept the offer as his last order. Many believe that Mozart subconsciously wrote a requiem for his own funeral.
Despite his musical genius, Mozart did not know how to competently manage his financial affairs, so his wealth was constantly changing: from chic and splendor to absolute poverty.
Unfortunately, the great composer did not manage to finish his last work, he died without finishing it. At the request of his wife Constance, the work was completed by one of Amadeus's students, Franz Süssmaier, and handed over to the customer. Later it turned out that the last client of Mozart was Count Franz von Walseg, who liked to pass off other people's works as his own, which he did, appropriating the posthumous masterpiece of the great composer for himself.
Later, Constance was able to identify the work of her own husband and the truth triumphed. However, the story with "Requiem" remained unclear until the end: it is known that most of the work was written by Mozart, but it was not possible to calculate what exactly his student added. But despite this, "Requiem" is the greatest work, one of the most touching works of Mozart.
