Birthday: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Born January 27 in 1756, Mozart composed more than 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the greatest and most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music. All in a 30-year career (he was composing by 5, dead at 35). We enjoy and celebrate the work of Mozart today.
