Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. His genre encompassed a wide range of forms, including symphonies, operas, chamber music, and choral works. Notable works include operas such as "The Magic Flute," "Don Giovanni," and "The Marriage of Figaro," as well as symphonies like Symphony No. 40 in G minor and his Requiem Mass in D minor. Mozart's impact on music is profound; he is celebrated for his melodic genius, structural innovation, and ability to convey emotion through music. His work laid the groundwork for the development of the symphonic and operatic forms that would flourish in the 19th century. Mozart's influence can be seen in the compositions of later composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms, marking him as a central figure in Western classical music history.
