Mozart was
born to Leopold and Anna Maria Pertl Mozart, in
the front room of 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg,
the capital of the sovereign Archbishopric of
Salzburg, in what is now Austria, then part of
the Holy Roman Empire. His only sibling who
survived beyond infancy was an older sister:
Maria Anna, nicknamed Nannerl. Mozart was
baptized the day after his birth at St. Rupert's
Cathedral. The baptismal record gives his name
in Latinized form as Joannes Chrysostomus
Wolfgangeus Theopheilus Mozart. Of these names,
the first two refer to John Chrysostom, one of
the Church Fathers, and they were names not
employed in everyday life, while the fourth,
meaning "beloved of God", was variously
translated in Mozart's lifetime as Amadeus
(Latin), Gottlieb (German), and Amadé (French).
Mozart's father Leopold announced the birth
of his son in a letter to the publisher Johann
Jakob Lotter with the words "...the boy is
called Joannes Chrysostomus, Wolfgang,
Gottlieb". Mozart himself preferred the third
name (see Mozart's name).
Mozart's father Leopold (1719–1787) was one of
Europe's leading musical teachers. His
influential textbook Versuch einer gründlichen
Violinschule, or "Essay on the fundamentals of
violin playing", was published in 1756, the year
of Mozart's birth. He was deputy kapellmeister
to the court orchestra of the Archbishop of
Salzburg, and a prolific and successful composer
of instrumental music. Leopold gave up composing
when his son's outstanding musical talents
became evident. They first came to light when
Wolfgang was about three years old, and Leopold,
proud of Wolfgang's achievements, gave him
intensive musical training, including
instruction in clavier, violin, and organ.
Leopold was Wolfgang's only teacher in his
earliest years. A note by Leopold in Nannerl's
music book – the Nannerl Notenbuch – records
that little Wolfgang had learned several of the
pieces at the age of four.
Mozart's first compositions, a small Andante
(K. 1a) and Allegro (K. 1b), were written in
1761, when he was five years old.[1] Around the
time when he was five or six years old, he could
play the piano blindfolded and with his hands
crossed over one another.
Mozart died around 1 a.m. on December 5, 1791 in
Vienna. Some days earlier, with the onset of his
illness, he had largely ceased work on his final
composition, the Requiem. Popular legend has it
that Mozart was thinking of his own impending
death while writing this piece, and even that a
messenger from the afterworld commissioned it.
He was not buried in a "mass grave" but in a
regular communal grave according to the 1784
laws in Austria.
Though the original grave in the St. Marx
cemetery was lost, memorial gravestones (or
cenotaphs) have been placed there.
