    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), “Mozart is among the least autobiographical of composers” (Greenberg, 2011, p. 144). According to Greenberg (2011), regarding Mozart, “his music came from a source frankly divorced from issues and worries of the everyday”, the things inspired him were not from emotional events in his life expressed in his music. Deep emotional events in his life which should have inspired certain emotional expression in his art were in fact not reflected at all. What was expressed in his compositions at certain junctions in his life had no correlation to his personal turmoil or joy. According to Greenberg (2011), apparently Mozart had his finished works stored in his head all he need do is sit down and write them. There are no indications of…

Often taunted by peers, hounded by the press, prodded by demanding parents and haunted by outsize expectations of greatness, they are treated as wondrous curiosities. But their stories are often a sad and captivating one, marked by early achievement and the promise of something greater. The letters exchanged between Mozart and his family reflect a wider story of how complications arise during a prodigy's transition into adulthood with evidence of immense pressure from his father, immaturity, and the eventual need to lead a normal life.…

    Even in the Nineteenth century Mozart was one of the leading Classical composers and was a master at all genres of classical music, his music was often cheerful and disorderly, but yet he could write outstanding melodies that were simple and unpretentious, which contained an unforgettable, haunting beauty. His music was greatly influenced by ‘Franz Joseph Hayden' who was one of the main influences which transformed the classical genre from little more than a divertimento of strings to music with an almost chamber music style but which gave all parts of the orchestra an equal role. His ideas not only influenced Mozart they also went on to influence ‘Ludwig Van Beethoven' who's music is not only astonishing and remarkable but is still very popular.
