Task 3 Mozart
芀
Teaching Tips:
Ask students to note down words and
phrases of time while listening.
艿
Mozart was a
fascinating musician and composer whose fame
continues to grow more than two centuries after
his
death. He was born in Salzburg,
Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had
shown great musical talent. His father
then decided to let him start taking
harpsichord lessons. The boy's reputation as a
musical talent grew fast. At five, he
was composing music. From that time on,
Mozart was performing in concerts and writing
music. By his early teens, he
had
mastered
the
piano,
violin
and
harpsichord,
and
was
writing
symphonies
and
operas.
His
first
major
opera
was
performed in Milan in 1770, when he was
only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the
conductor for an orchestra in
Salzburg.
In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great
demand as both a performer and a composition
teacher. His
first opera was a success.
But life was not easy because he was a poor
businessman, and his finances were always in a
bad state. His music from the next
decade was not very popular, and he eventually
fell back on his teaching jobs for a
living. In 1788 he stopped performing
in public, preferring only to compose. He died in
1791 at the age of thirty-five.
Although he lived only a short life, he
composed over 600 works. (220 words)
