Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
was born in 1756 in Salzburg as the son of a musician.
He already fascinated the Viennese and Munich society
as a 6-year-old boy through his play of the piano.
He received his first order for the opera from the
imperial court when he was 11 years old.
Only aged 12 he became the courtly bandmaster in Salzburg.
Even after his master works were published
he still had to fight for his daily living.
Mozart was not only the cheerful favourite with powdered plaited hair,
but also a tragic figure within a conflicting time.
Growing up in the playful rococo, highly respected as a musician
but in deep worry as a person.
This way his great art is based between light and dark.
In 1791, he was buried in Vienna, where he had lived since
his 21st year of living, in a mass grave of the poor on the "St. Marx Cemetery".
The memory of Mozart's grave is today being held by a little monument.
