Known to play multiple musical instruments while performing, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was greatly guided and tutored by his musically oriented father - Leopold Mozart - who made it a point of duty to train his children - Wolfgang and Maria Anna (Nannerl) - in music and he dedicated most of his time to this venture.
His kids excelled and had profound mastery in music at rather tender ages with proficiency in playing musical instruments, such as - the piano, harpsichord, violin, viola, organ etc.
Realizing that his children had special musical gifts embedded in them, Leopold Mozart took a giant step that paid off in the end. He took his childstars (Nannerl 11, and Wolfgang, 6) on tour of prominent European royal courts to perform for the royal families at the time.
Wolfgang grew up to become a global household name in renaissance classical music as he left his imprint on most of his popular works like:
- The Marriage of Figaro
- Requiem
- Don Giovanni
- The Magic Flute
- Paris
- Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
- Symphony No. 40 in G Minor
- Etc.
