MOZART THE MIRACULOUS CHILD

• At the age of 5 years old ,he writes small compositions.
• His father was Kapellmeister deputy to the Archbishop`s Grand Orchestra
• Once the news of the ageless prodigy spread, royalty in many cities in Europe invited Mozart to play for them. Perhaps the most memorable would be his performance in Austria for a treat to Empress Maria Theresa. There, the little boy accidentally tripped and fell after the show, when the Little Princess, Maria Antoinette, rushed over to help him. Struck by her gratitude, Wolfgang asked her to marry him, causing the crowd to burst into laughter. (The two were not even seven at that point.) Mozart had no idea that she was to be the future queen of France. Although her answer is unknown, it showed that Mozart's character was childish from the instant he was born.
