CHILDHOOD ! Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27th 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. He was the youngest child in his family. His parents were delighted that he survived, because 5 of his six older brothers died. ! When he was young, he was very interested in the harpsichord lessons that his dad (Leopold Mozart) gave to his sister (Maria Anna or otherwise called Nanneral) When he tried to press the keys on the harpsichord, he surprised his dad. He knew which notes sounded right and what he could play any tunes by only listening to it once and he was only five when he started composing pieces! He learned both the harpsichord and the violin. Eventually, lots of people heard about him, so his father started to show him off, in fact, he played for the empress of Vienna when he was only six!
This is a picture of him playing for the empress with his father and his sister
