Mozart had a great run of successes in his final years - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and the Clarinet Quintet in A, three of his 41 symphonies Cosí fan Tutte, three piano trios, the Coronation piano concerto, two piano sonatas and three string quartets. The year 1787 saw the premiere of Mozart's second opera, Don Giovanni. Post-marriage, some of Mozart's best started to appear -the Haffner and Linz symphonies and five string quartets, for example.īetween 17, he composed nine piano concertos and three of these concurrently with The Marriage of Figaro. Constanze was easy-going, free-spending and usually pregnant. The Mozarts' marriage seemed to be a happy one. In August 1782 he married Constanze Weber. A year later the Emperor Joseph II commissioned him to write La finta semplice. Mozart composed his first opera, Apollo et Hyacinthus when he was only 11. Though he was and still is considered a genius, he was also tactless, arrogant and had a scatological sense of humour. Mozart's father, Leopold, was an ambitious composer and violinist. Mozart's music embraces opera, symphony, concerto, chamber, choral, instrumental and vocal music, revealing an astonishing number of imperishable masterpieces. His inspiration is often described as 'divine', but he worked assiduously, not only to become the great composer he was, but also a conductor, virtuoso pianist, organist and violinist. Johannes Chrystostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart (1756–1791) was arguably the most gifted musician in the history of classical music.
