Short Life of Genius / Austrian Romantic composer Art Nouveau bronze medal

(27 January 1756 - 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. Was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. He composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position.

In 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies.

And portions of the Requiem. Which was largely unfinished at the time of his early death at the age of 35. The circumstances of his death have been much mythologized. He composed more than 600 works, many of which are acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic. He is considered among the greatest classical.

And his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music. Composed his early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn. Wrote: "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years".
