Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.
For instance probably anybody knows Mozart's operas: The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, La clemenza di Tito...
But do you know that...
Mozart had a very small figure, with a large head, blue-eyed, blond hair, his face only slightly pockmarked by smallpox, in any case, apparently no evidence of any significant attractive beauties.
Mozart was, however, an extremely social person and he was very popular for its special naturesociety (especially among ladies) , it is interesting in the fact that he could move and be liked by virtually all levels of society without distinction.
Mozart was also quite a passionate person. He was excellent player of cards and apparently very over-ruled to dozens of different card games.
Mozart had a phenomenal musical memory, then most of the music tracks you could completely memorize (and apparently from an early childhood) to a single listening, then this song could very quickly be recorded in the notes.
Mozart spoke several languages fluently.
Mozart enjoyed billiards and dancing and kept pets: a canary, a starling, a dog, and also a horse for recreational riding.
