On January 27, 1756, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. His father was Leopard Mozart and his mother was Anna Maria. His father was a musician in the service of the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg (Einstein, 1945). Mozart's mother Anna was the daughter of a civil servant named Pertl. Wolfgang and Maria Anna were the only survivors from a family of seven children. Mozart looked fragile, just over five feet tall, with blond hair, small, delicate bones, and thin skin. People claimed that Mozart was a hyperactive person and had periodic kidney problems throughout his life. Mozart died on December 5, 1791, just weeks before his 36th birthday. At the age of three, Mozart played the harpsichord while standing on tiptoe. At the age of five, Mozart could only sit still during music lessons with his sister Nannerl. While his father was having tea with a friend, Mozart was extremely focused while writing a song. When his father asked him what he was doing, he replied “writing a song” (Solomon, 1995). Mozart's father began reading what he wrote and was so proud that he decided to show everyone Mozart's musical intelligence. Shortly after Leopard noticed Mozart's talents, he took his family to Vienna. When Mozart played for the Lords and Ladies, they couldn't believe their ears and were completely surprised. A king once asked him to play the piano with one finger under a cloth, Mozart played with precision and beauty (Johnson, 2013). When Mozart was in London he had the opportunity to play with JC Bach. While they played together, Mozart sat on his lap and played the same song without missing a beat, as if it were played by the same hand. Bach was in his thirties when Mozart was in the middle of a paper ......r dressed in a black coat and asked him to write a requiem for him. The man offered to pay immediately and Mozart agreed. Mozart began writing the requiem “Lacrimosa”. Mozart fell ill while working on the requiem, becoming increasingly ill as the nights passed. As he grew sicker and weaker, his mind became more and more confused. He began to believe that the man in the cloak was a messenger of death and that the requiem was Mozart's own death. Mozart died at the age of 36 and was buried on a cold rainy day in 1791, without a coffin or headstone (Solomon, 1995). It is not certain how much of Lacrimosa Mozart completed himself and how much was written by other composers (Cook & Fomina, 2014). This piece was both beautiful and haunting. His works were not buried with him and the music endures like a refreshing spring rain to nourish the hearts of people everywhere and always..
