My Favorite Musician is Mozart
Alexander Li
My favorite musician in the world is Wolfgang ‘Amadeus’ Mozart (1756-1791). He was a Western classical composer meaning his music is from Europe and he composed in the time period from 1750 to 1820. You may find it weird for me to have a favorite musician from the 18th century, but after reading this article, I hope you will agree with me.
Wolfgang ‘Amadeus‘ Mozart was born on January 27, 1756, and his parents were Leopold Mozart and Anna Maria. He was the youngest born in his family of 7 (9 including parents), and 5 of them died. Mozart was a prodigy: at the age of 4, his father was already teaching him how to play the clavier (an early keyboard instrument according to Merriam Webster Dictionary), at the age of 5, he was already composing his first works of music! As his life went on, he composed over 600 works of music, including numerous violin/piano/flute concertos, operas, symphonies, etc.
First, I like the music of Mozart because he has a variety of pieces. Every piece has a different mood, a different emotion, a different story. His pieces could be anything from sad to happy, frustrated to excited, calm to dramatic, funny to serious. This makes his music very interesting for me。
Next, I like the music of Mozart because every piece is like stepping into a different world. Each piece makes me feel and then imagine different things. For example, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 is a sad, melancholy tune that reminds me of a lonely dessert. But Symphony No. 41 is like a big feast where everybody is happy and joyful.
Finally, I like the music of Mozart because it makes me more cheerful and relaxed. When I am stressed or I have too much information in my brain, I like to listen to the music of Mozart. This helps a lot with clearing my mind, and cooling down my brain. I also like to listen to it when I am sad, or any negative emotion.
I hope after you read this article, you will want to listen to the music of Mozart. Trust me, you will be very satisfied after listening to his music. Mozart was a great composer and he had interesting pieces.
