The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) is enduringly popular. Unrivaled in output, Mozart excelled in composing in every genre of his era, from some of the earliest known art songs to grand symphonies and intimate piano sonatas. The New Grove Dictionary goes so far as to call him “the most universal composer in the history of Western music.” Mozart was a famously precocious young musician, touring Europe from the age of six as a piano prodigy and composer. He was also incredibly prolific. By the age of 20 he had composed at least 30 symphonies and nine operas, among many other works smaller in scale.
2006 marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of W. A. Mozart, who was born in Salzburg, Austria on January 27, 1756. Concert venues around the world celebrated the anniversary with performances, including the Gardner Museum’s all-day Mozart Marathon on January 29, 2006, during which many of the above performances were recorded.
