Mozart

A detailed Summary of Mozart

Yekaterina Todika Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptized in Salzburg Cathedral on the day after his birth as Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus. The first and last given names come from his godfather Joannes Theophilus Pergmayr, although Mozart preferred the Latin form of this last name, Amadeus, more often Amade, or the Italiano Amadeo. Whatever the case may be, he rarely-if ever-used Theophilus in his signature. The name Chrysostomus originates from St. John Chrysostom, whose feast falls on the 27th of January. The name Wolfgang was given to him in honor of his maternal grandfather, Wolfgang Nikolaus Pertl. He was the seventh and last child born to musical author, composer and violinist, Leopold Mozart and his wife Anna Maria Pertl.

zburg forced Mozart to lead a highly restricted life, which in turn generated friction between the young compositor and the strict Archbishop. Moreover, his musical labor at the Court of the Archbishop was an endless humiliation. He was the principal composer and virtuoso at the Court, but his salary was so meager and his work so unappreciated that each day was a test of his patience and willingness to tolerate insult. His fellow musicians at the Court were dissolute scoundrels, whose musical tastes were vulgar and whose interests centered upon gambling and drink. Mozart traveled for third time to Italy, mainly because of the premier of the opera "Lucio Silla" in Milan. During the carnival of 1773 the work was performed a staggering 26 times.
