Mozart was a child prodigy who began composing music at the age of five and was performing for royalty by the time he was six. He composed over 800 works in his short life, including symphonies, operas, chamber music, and choral music.

In Milan, Mozart wrote the opera Mitridate, re di Ponto (1770). From 1782 to 1785 Mozart mounted concerts with himself as a soloist, presenting three or four new piano concertos in each season.

Mozart also composed many symphonies, including the “Jupiter Symphony” (1788), and chamber music, such as the “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” (1787).
