Mozart was buried in a common grave at the St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna, Austria, on December 7, 1791, two days after his death. The exact location of his grave is unknown, and the current monument and “grave” are the results of an educated guess.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period whose composition resulted in more than 800 works of virtually every genre of his time.

From 1782 to 1785 Mozart mounted concerts with himself as a soloist, presenting three or four new piano concertos in each season.

In 1781, Mozart moved to Vienna, where he achieved great success as a composer and performer. Mozart also composed many symphonies, including the “Jupiter Symphony” (1788), and chamber music, such as the “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (1787).
