Mozart produced a lot of many different works. Mozart was also known for his compositions in Western music, and he is highly recognized for his 600 works and more. At the age of 21 Wolfgang Mozart culminated in the Piano concerto Number 9 in E flat in the early 1777s. in 1781 Mozart composed an opera for Munich, Ideomeneo. On August 4, 1782 Mozart married Fridolin Webers daughter Constanze Weber. During Mozarts a Constanzes marriage, they had a son name Karl Thomas. They sent their son to expensive boarding schools. In Vienna Austria Mozart and his family lived in an exclusive apartment building, and they maintained a very busy social life. During the years, Mozart wrote six quartets for Joseph Hayden. When Mozart and his wife went to Salzburg, Austria to visit his father, Mozarts father Leopold was still a reluctant father-in-law and Nanneri was a dutiful daughter. During the visit to see his father, Mozart got influenced to write in C Minor. Kyrie and Gloria were the only sections completed. In the year of 1784 Mozart became a Freemason, which is a fraternal order focused on charitable work, moral uprightness, and development or fraternal friendship. Mozart was a wellrespected person in the Freemason community. He always attended meetings and being involved in various functions. Freemasonry became a strong influence in Mozarts music.

Operas wrote: Ascanio in Alba (1771), Lucio Silla (1772) Compositions: Mozart had many compositions. His compositions started during
the year of 1761-1791. His compositions are in categories from start to finish. His best works are operas, piano concertos, symphonies, string quartets, and string quintets.

Music category he belong to: Western Classical Music, Classical Music- (what
the book says)

Genres: Chamber Music, Masses, Religious Music, Dances, Divertimenti, and

other light entertainment. Symphonies, opera, solo concerto, piano sonata. The metamorphosis of Mozarts classical music can be seen directly in his library of works, and he was responsible for popularizing the piano concerto.

Characteristics: For the central style of the classical music includes

clarity, balance, and delicacy, so that Mozarts works can be seen clearly. Some of Mozarts best works had a darker side that went beyond the classical musics original purpose of light entertainment. I like Mozart because to me his music is soothing. I listen to his music at night while I am sleeping and it helps me clear my mind and sleep. I would tell my friends and family that if they are having trouble sleeping at night, and if they do not want to take medication, listen to any to Mozarts music while they sleep. It will help you sleep through the whole entire night. Mozarts music has a adagio (slow), but allegretto (moderately slow) feel, and sound to it.
