Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was probably the most gifted musician who has ever lived, having a musical talent that can only be dreamed of. He was not only a great classical composer, but also a great pianist who astonished the audiences of his time with his skills. Unlike some composers, Mozart had little interest in developing new types of music, but just wanted to write as close to perfection as possible. Many people would argue that he achieved perfection. But in spite of his astonishing gifts, Mozart was just a human being like the rest of us. He could be arrogant and rude and was not a particularly attractive man. But he wrote music unlike anything that had been heard before and it is still admired today, over 200 years since he died. Andrew Gibbs gives you a comprehensive list of facts about Mozart, explaining the important accomplishments and events in his life. Reading a complete biography can be daunting for a youngster, but Gibbs presents Mozart's life in 59 easy to understand segments.
