 AMADEUS WOLFGANG MOZART

 [Christened Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus]

 (1756-1791)

 Austrian composer, born in Salzburg 250 years ago.

His father took him and his sister on tour to Paris, London, staying in a house in Ebury Street
near Pimlico Road in 1764.  It is in fact the house where he wrote his first two symphonies.

He and his sister were chiefly harpsichord prodigies, in 1763-1766.

He had already begun to compose; by 1773 he had three times visited Italy and had entered the
service of the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg.  Mozart disliked this and left after a quarrel in 1781
settling in Vienna.

Visited Prague, Berlin, and elsewhere; died poor in Vienna, or typhus.
