And of course, being recognized as a genius at the time of life, Mozart's life has many special details. In the passage of time, stories that have a legend about his life are countless.

At the age of 2, how did Mozart play improvisedly?

Mozart, when he was 6 years old, performed in the Austrian royal palace.

The boy Mozart was born on January 27, 1975 in a family full of music in the town of Salzburg, Austria. He was born with a bright, beautiful face, bright blue eyes. His father, Leopol, a famous violinist in the orchestra of the aristocracy in Salzburg, was also a music teacher for Mozart. The Mozart family has two children, namely Nannerl, his sister and the youngest son, whose full name is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The two sisters showed a special gift for music. Nannerl is five years older than his younger brother, and since she was 4 years old, she has had a musical talent, after only one year of practice, she has been able to play pretty hard music. However, the talents of the children are far beyond. The reason is that Mozart is called a musical prodigy because his talent is extremely special and has been revealed since a very young age.

One morning in the autumn of 1758, when Mozart was two and a half years old, Mozart's mother Anna Maria was at home with her son, Leopol went to work, while Nannerl went to school. As usual, she sat down on the violin (the ancient piano) and began playing songs that Nannerl practiced every day. Before that, she carefully put Mozart in a chair, to the right of the guitar, to play the guitar and easily turn to talk and look after the boy.

While the mother plays the piano, Mozart listens intently and observes the mother's moving fingers, seeming that the music is attracting his attention. Before long, after playing some short music, Maria stood up, went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Before leaving, she pushed the chair Mozart was sitting close to the instrument, letting him cling to the wall to prevent him from falling.

While pouring water into the cup, Maria heard the music playing from the living room, silently surprised that her daughter came home from school early, she asked to come out of the living room: "How come you study soon so, Nannerl? " . Without a reply, she immediately leaned over to look outside.

Suddenly she froze, nearly dropping the cup in her hand, when she saw her little son struggling to re-play the song she had practiced before. Although the level of skill and speed of the music is not very accurate, it is the music that she just played. Unable to believe in his eyes, after a moment of divination, Maria approached the instrument, where the boy was still playing music, she asked:

- Mother's son, why did you hit this song? When did Nannerl teach me?

- No, I taught you, just listening to my mother playing the piano, I just fought back. The more surprised the mother was:

- What do you say? Did you play like that while listening to your mother? Unbelievable? Seeing his son show interest and very interested in the instrument, Maria asked:

- If you want to continue playing the piano, listen to my mother playing this short piece of music, then try to play it again.

The left hand holds Mozart's shoulder, while her right hand runs on the keys a short melody. As soon as the melody just ended, the boy's tiny hand placed on the keyboard, without any hesitation, struck back the melody that had just appeared. He played exactly as if he had practiced it many times. Maria turned to another melody, this time a song she thought of herself, Mozart struck back accurately.

Then the next sentence, becoming longer, more difficult to remember, the boy also beat almost perfectly. Going from surprise to surprise, the more she tried, the more Maria saw her son's special ability.

At noon, when Mr. Leopol came home, Maria first called him to the piano to show him his son's special ability. Now it was his turn to be surprised when he saw his son, every day just as normal as other boys, suddenly had special expressions of a musical genius. After checking his son's gifted skills with hard-hitting music, he proudly told his wife: "It's a special talent, then you see, tomorrow, everyone will mention his little boy. That's a lot. "

Mozart family.

It soon happened that, shortly after, under the guidance of Mr. Leopol, his two children practiced simultaneously two types of instruments: violin and violin, they could perform solo as well as The concert is quite mature. While it took others years to learn to perfect the technique of playing one of these two instruments, in just two years, his children had mastered the skill of demonstration, especially Mozart.

He has a good technique, has a musical feeling and has a strong psychological attitude while performing. Because of this, Mozart was often introduced by Leopol in musical performances in Salzburg, followed by Vienna - the capital of Austria, and throughout the major cities of Europe.

How did Mozart write his first song at age 6?

Mozart boy.

One morning before going to work, Leopol called Mozart and handed him a piece of music. He wanted his son to bring the music to the theater master's house, which was Leopol's gift to the theater boss's daughter on the occasion of her birthday.

Mozart rarely gets out of the house alone, every scene on the road is very new to him. On the way to the theater boss's house, he had to cross the small canal, Mozart stopped on the bridge and watched the sight of the boats floating under the canal. Suddenly the strong wind blew, the music left Mozart's hand and flew down the canal.

Mozart sadly returned home, he did not know what to say to his father about what had just happened. Mr. Leopol has not returned from work. Mozart sat in the piano and played short pieces of music, his mind flashed a thought. Mozart composed a piece of music and brought it to the theater master's house, instead of the music that had fallen into the water.

The next day, Leopol went to play at the theater boss's house. Before the guest, he smiled and said to Leopol:

- Your music is great. Do you want to listen again?

Leopol gracefully thanks. The boss's daughter plays the first notes. Mr. Leopol was startled because it was not his song. He approached the instrument and looked at the music. Indeed, it was not his song composed, he recognized the notes written by his son.

The song ended, applause resounded. The theater owner cheerfully said:

- It is a very pure and lovely song. My daughter and I are very pleased to receive this gift from you.

When he got home, Mr. Leopol called Mozart and asked what had happened. The boy recounts the story of the music falling into the water. Mr. Leopol did not scold the boy, he just rubbed his son's head and said:

- I wrote good music, I'm proud of that. I believe you will become a great musician later.

Leopol's prediction came true soon.A few years later, Mozart became a brilliant genius musician in the world music scene.

The story happened when Mozart was only 6 years old.
