Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born and lived in Austria, but his music is known and loved by the whole world. This music is full of light, joy and beauty. This is probably why the Russian composer Anton Rubinstein called Mozart Helios - the sun god.
Mozart's fate was amazing. Many of you have probably heard the expression “talented like Mozart.” This is what they say when they want to talk about a person who is unusually gifted and outstanding. Mozart lived only 36 years. But he managed to create a lot of musical works - 50 symphonies, 19 operas, sonatas, songs and other works of various genres.
In those days, when there was no electricity, no radio, no television, no computers, people rode horses or in carriages, wore white powdered wigs, men wore camisoles and lace pantaloons, and women wore beautiful long dresses, it was in those distant times that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived and worked.
Wolfgang's father, Leopold Mozart, was a court musician in the city of Salzburg and gave music lessons.
The boy's unusual talent manifested itself very early. Already at the age of 3, he discovered an amazing and persistent interest in music: as soon as he heard sounds, Wolfgang abandoned all fun and rushed towards them.
The kid could listen for hours to how Sister Nannerl practiced the harpsichord. It was difficult to tear him away from the instrument: while pressing the keys, the child listened carefully for a long time, noisily rejoicing when he found the harmonies he liked, then he began to select the motives of songs familiar to him, entire passages from the plays he had heard.
One day, three-year-old Wolf walked up to the instrument and hit the keys with both palms. A sharp piercing sound was heard! The kid covered his ears in horror and... lost consciousness. After this incident, he treated the instrument with great care as a living being with magical properties. He talked to him, stroked him, listened to each sound for a long time and rejoiced noisily when he found harmonious consonances.
After making sure that his little son was attracted to music, the father decided to slowly start lessons with him.
When Wolfgang was six years old, the entire Mozart family went to Munich. The Elector of Munich listened to the performance of Wolfgang and his sister Nannerl and praised them. After that, returning home, young virtuosos They began to study music even more diligently, and in the fall of 1862 the children performed in Vienna in front of the imperial court.
The Mozart family visited all the largest cities in Europe - Paris, London, Geneva, Amsterdam. The trip lasted four years and turned into a triumphal procession.
Thus began the difficult creative path great composer. Already as a child, Mozart worked a lot.
The little virtuoso performer in a white wig with a pigtail and a heavy embroidered gold camisole, given to a boy at the imperial court, looked like a funny doll. Of course!
A child who masters the instrument! Hurry up to see! Hurry up to hear! The little musician will play the harpsichord according to the notes! And from memory! WITH eyes closed! And with the keyboard covered with a scarf! With two hands! With one hand! And with one finger! He will guess any note named from the audience... He will play any unfamiliar works from sight... And his musical improvisations on any topic are simply unique... Hurry! Hurry...
The concerts of the Mozart children lasted 4-5 hours and caused a storm of surprise and admiration. Wolfgang's program was especially striking in its difficulty. The little virtuoso played the harpsichord, violin and organ. He improvised musical works on a given theme and played unfamiliar works on the spot. You can’t say anything - a real child prodigy, that is, a gifted child.
Little Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a sunny boy. He almost always smiled, like a gentle spring sun. Because music lived in him... Heavenly, sunny, joyful music! Music filled his entire being. Music was his breath. Music was his vision. Music was his ear.
Listen to one of the most charming opera excerpts - the chorus from the fairy-tale opera "The Magic Flute". It’s called “Listen to how crystal clear the sounds are”; you will immediately feel the lightness and naturalness of the melody. This is probably why such music is easily remembered by both adults and children.
Do you know what other music the composer W. A. Mozart created? We are all familiar with Mozart's music without even realizing it.
Listen to the Lullaby “Sleep, my joy, sleep” (sings):
Sleep, my joy, sleep.
The lights in the house went out.
The birds fell silent in the garden.
The fish fell asleep in the pond.
The moon is shining in the sky,
The moon is looking out the window.
Close your eyes quickly
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
Everything in the house has been quiet for a long time,
It's dark in the cellar and kitchen.
Not a single door creaks,
The mouse is sleeping behind the stove.
Someone sighed behind the wall,
What do we care, dear?
Close your eyes quickly
Sleep, my joy, sleep!
My little bird lives sweetly.
There are no worries, no hassles.
Plenty of toys, sweets,
Lots of fun things to do.
You’ll hurry to get everything,
If only the baby didn't cry.
If only it were like this all day!
Sleep, my joy, sleep.
At one time this song was a musical theme song television program « Good night, kids! But its music was written by Mozart. But that's not all. Do you know this children's song (sings):

That's how, that's how, little gray goat,
That's it, that's how it is, little gray goat.
Grandma loved the goat very much,
Grandma loved the goat very much,
That's how, that's how, I loved you very much,
That's how, that's how, I loved it very much.
The goat decided to take a walk in the forest,
That's how, that's how, take a walk in the forest,
That's how, that's how, take a walk in the forest.
Gray wolves attacked the goat,
That's how, that's how gray wolves are,
That's how, that's how gray wolves are.
All that's left of the goat are the horns and legs,
That's how, that's how, horns and legs,
That's how, that's how, horns and legs.
This song is also Mozart's music. It turns out that Mozart, who lived more than 200 years ago, wrote music for songs that, in their popularity and longevity, beat all existing world songs. music records. It turns out that each of us knew them from infancy.
In the unusually musical city of Vienna, day and night one could hear either wonderful singing or violin playing. Listen to Mozart's "Little Night Serenade" and you will understand what kind of music it is. Even the most simple music was extraordinarily beautiful. After all, Mozart wrote it!
Serenade. Silence, the heat of the day has gone, a clear, warm evening is coming.

Academic music of the 20th century in faces
Sergei Prokofiev could have become not only a recognized composer, but also a writer. Despite difficult circumstances, both his character and his work remained optimistic. Without a doubt, his works are an important element of academic music of the 20th century. Concepture continues to highlight the most prominent composers of this period.
Perhaps you didn't know:
Child of the Sun From 1916 to 1921, Prokofiev collected an album of autographs from his friends who answered the question: “What do you think about the sun?” Later it will be called “Wooden Book”. Among those who responded were K. Petrov-Vodkin, A. Dostoevskaya, F. Chaliapin, A. Rubinstein, V. Burliuk, V. Mayakovsky, K. Balmont. Prokofiev's work is often called sunny, optimistic, and cheerful. He even called his place of birth (the village of Sontsovka) in the Little Russian manner - So(l)tsevka.
Favorite of the authorities In the 30s, the USSR authorities called him home and promised him the status of “first composer”, better conditions, despite the fact that in general the repatriates are treated rather poorly (calling them “defectors”). He was given a huge apartment in a house on Zemlyanoy Val, 14, where the pilot V. Chkalov, the poet S. Marshak and others lived. He was allowed to bring a blue Ford and get a personal driver. After the war, Prokofiev mainly lived at his dacha in the village of Nikolina Gora near Moscow (bought with the Stalin Prize).
Musical prodigy A love of music was instilled in little Sergei by his mother Maria Grigorievna, who was a good pianist. At the age of five he composed his first work - the play "Indian Gallop". By the age of ten, he would have already written the opera “The Giant” and the first act of the second opera “On the Deserted Islands.”

For many years, people have asked themselves this question and come to the conclusion that without the beautiful sounds of music, the world would be a very different place. Music helps us feel joy more fully, find our inner self and cope with difficulties.

Some of the ones they created musical compositions, will forever remain in the hearts and memories of people. Here is a list of ten of the greatest and most talented composers of all time.
