Biography of Mozart Book

Like an awakened eagle. For Mozart, this lesson was a divine verb who spoke of his appointment and pointed him to his path on earth. Since then, Mozart forgot all his previous games and was completely immersed in his children's, but brilliant soul into music. He stood at the harpsichord for a whole clock, looking for different consonations, and clapped his hands with joy when he found a third or quint.

Father tried to show him little Menuet, and since Wolfgang repeated him unmistakably, his father decided to start music classes with him. From the first lesson, Leopold Mozart, an experienced teacher, had no more doubt that his tiny son hides a great genius and that he will have a difficult task to develop him. Being a deeply religious person, he looked at the unusual talent of the child as a miracle that was sent from above and began his upbringing with love and reverence as a holy cause.

Father was afraid to introduce Wolfgang too early to the rules of essay, but this did not prevent the little composer from writing his first concert when he was only 4 years old. Once his father found him behind a whole pile of musical paper, on which blots rained down on rain. These blots the boy calmly wiped his hand and wrote notes over them. To the father’s question: “What are you writing?

Of course, with distrust and laugh, but when he looked into the paper and figured out this mass and figured out this mass, the tears of tenderness and delight appeared in his eyes: in front of him was an unpensitive concert! The house of Leopold Mozart was visited by local musicians who brought him their works and often performed them together. So, once one of them brought six new trio.

They sat down to play. But the musicians did not have time to stay, as a little Mozart appeared with his own tiny violin received by him as a gift, and offered his services. These services were rejected, as Mozart never studied on the violin. The insulted musician burst into combat tears. To console him, he was allowed to sit near Shakhtner, his big friend, and play with him a second violin, "but so quietly that it was not heard." Mozart sat down.

Shakhtner, as he himself says, soon noticing that he was superfluous, stopped playing, and the boy played all six trio from the sheet. The same Shakhtner says that he had a violin, which Mozart loved very much for her soft, delicate tone. Shakhtner often played at the Mozarts. Once he came to them and found Wolfgang, busy with his violin who had just received. Minnner laughed, but his father, knowing the unusual hearing of his son, sent for the violin, and by check it turned out that the boy was right.

Wolfgang and sister on the left and their father Leopold Mozart on the right until almost ten years Mozart felt an irresistible aversion to the sound of a pipe. Even the very view of her caused such fear in him, as if he had been shown a muzzle of a charged pistol. Wanting to wean his son from such a nervous fear, Leopold Mozart asked his friend, the chimney trumpeter, and lay out with all his strength in the presence of the boy.

But at the first sounds, the child was mortally pale, began to sink to the floor and, probably, would have lost his feelings if Shakhtner had not stopped this test. Since then, the father did not try to teach his son to the sounds of the pipe anymore, and over time his aversion to this instrument passed by itself. Little Mozart’s learning went very successfully: Mozart indoined all his occupation for which he was accepted.

He especially liked mathematics; He dangled the walls, benches, the floor and could solve very complex mathematical problems in his mind. During his musical exercises, no one dared to approach him with a joke or even just talk to him. When he sat at the piano, his face was made so serious and concentrated that, looking at this prematurely developing talent, many were afraid for his durability.

At the age of six, he was such a finished artist that his father decided to take a trip to show the art of his talented children abroad. They went the whole family, and at first tried their luck in Munich, and then, encouraged by extraordinary success, went to Vienna in the year. On the way, they had to stop at Nassau, where the local bishop wished to hear them, who in five days spent there, along with the game, awarded them with one ducatus 3 rubles.

Passing by one monastery, they went into it to pray. Mozart, meanwhile, made his way to the organ and played. The monks, who were sitting with the guests at the meal, having heard wonderful sounds, threw food and guests and, in dumb delight, crowded around a little virtuoso. On the border, a brilliant child fascinated customs officials with his game and his childhood charm that they were missed without examination.

In Vienna, they were met as. We can say that Vienna laid the foundation for their triumphal procession in Europe. Immediately upon arrival, they received an invitation to the court on a simple, not a reception day, so that you could better get acquainted with the children.Emperor Joseph was a great music lover and reacted to the child with living interest. He subjected the talent and art of the boy to a comprehensive test, forced to play difficult passages with one finger, ordered to close the keys with a napkin, but Mozart and on top of the napkin played as without it without it, so in the end the emperor called him a “little sorcerer”.

But in this small sorcerer, the arrogance of the great artist was hidden; He did not like to play in front of people who do not understand music; If with requests or deceit it was possible to persuade him, then he played only empty, minor things. And at the court, he remained faithful to himself: he did not agree to play anything serious, until they finally called Wagenzeil, one of the best composers and musicians of that time.

Mozart treated the august ladies very kindly: he climbed to the empress and showered her with kisses; Princess Maria Antoinette, then his peer, he promised his hand and heart in gratitude for raising him when he fell on a smooth floor. The yard reacted to small artists extremely affectionately; All the rich, noble inhabitants of Vienna followed his example, and money fell on the Mozarts along with invitations.

Leopold Mozart was satisfied not only with the material and musical success of his children, but in general, the technique and honor with which they were encountered everywhere, and most importantly, by the fact that his family rotated in such an exquisite, high society. Mozart called this violin Buttergeige - an oil violin - for its delicate tone.
