Wolfgang Mozart gave us not only his great music, but also opened for us (as Columbus opened the road to America) the path to the heights of musical skill from an unusually early childhood. The world does not yet know another such luminous music, which showed its talent at such an early age. "Triumphal Wunderkind". The phenomenon of children's bright endowments.
Young Wolfgang sends us a signal from his XVIII century: "Do not be afraid, my young friends, dare. Young years are not a barrier ... I know for sure. We, young people, are capable of much, which adults do not even guess." Mozart openly shares the secret of his phenomenal success: he found three golden keys capable of opening the way to the Temple of Music. These keys are (1) heroic perseverance in achieving the goal, (2) skill and (3) the presence of a number of good pilot who will help to enter the world of music. Mozart was such a pilot, his father *, an excellent musician and a gifted teacher. About him, the boy respectfully said: "After God, only Dad." Wolfgang was an obedient son. The teacher of music and your parents will show you the path to success. Follow their instructions and perhaps you will be able to overcome gravity ...
Young Mozart could not even imagine that in 250 years we, modern boys and girls, will enjoy the wonderful world of animation, explode our imagination in 7D cinemas, dive into the world of computer games ... So, what’s fabulous for Mozart The world of music has faded forever against our wonders, lost its appeal? Not at all!
It turns out that many people do not even realize that modern science and technology, capable of launching unique devices into space, penetrating into the nano world, reviving animals that were completely extinct thousands of years ago, cannot synthesize musical works comparable in their talents to world classics. The most powerful computer in the world in terms of the quality of the artificially “created” music cannot even come close to the masterpieces created by the geniuses of the past centuries. This concerns not only The Magic Flute and The Marriage of Figaro, written by Mozart in adulthood, but also his opera Mithridates, King of Pontus, written by Wolfgang in his 14 years ...
* Leopold Mozart, court musician. He played the violin and organ. He was a composer, led the church choir. He wrote a book "Essay on the basics of playing the violin." His great-grandfathers were skilled builders. Conducted a great teaching activity.
Having heard these words, many boys and girls will want, at least out of curiosity, to look deeper into the world of music. It is interesting to understand why Mozart spent almost all his life in a different dimension. And was it a 4D, 5D or 125th Dimention?
It is said that very often Wolfgang's huge fiery eyes seemed to stop seeing everything that was happening around. His eyes became wandering, distracted. It seemed that the imagination of the musician carried him somewhere very far from the real world ... And vice versa, when the Master moved from the composer's image to the role of a virtuoso performer, his look became unusually sharp, and the movements of his arms and body became extremely collected and clear. Did he come back from somewhere? So, where is it from? Involuntarily remember Harry Potter ...
To those who wish to penetrate the secret world of Mozart, this may seem like a simple matter. Nothing is easier! I went to the computer and listen to his music! It turns out that everything is not so simple. Listening to music is not very difficult. To penetrate the world of music (even as a listener), to understand the depth of the author’s thoughts is more difficult. And many are wondering. Why does someone "read" the messages encrypted in music, and someone does not? And how to be here? After all, neither money, nor weapons, nor cunning will help open the cherished door ...
Young Mozart was incredibly lucky with golden keys. His heroic insistence on mastering music was formed on the basis of his sincere deep interest in the music that surrounded him from his very birth. Listening to his three years, as his father began to teach his older sister to play the clavier (and she was then, like some of us, seven years old), the boy tried to comprehend the secrets of sounds. He sought to understand why my sister was born with harmonious sounds, and he had only unrelated sounds. It was not forbidden for Wolfgang to sit for hours at the instrument, search for and fold up harmonies, grope for a melody. Without realizing it, he comprehended the science of harmony of sounds. Improvised, experimented. Learned to memorize melodies that my sister learned. Thus, the boy studied independently, without being forced to do his favorite work. It is said that in his childhood Wolfgang, if he was not stopped, could play the clavier all night long.
The father noticed his son’s early interest in music. From the age of four, he planted Wolfgang beside him for harpsichord and in a game form taught him to extract sounds that formed in the melodies of minuets and plays. My father helped to strengthen the friendship of the young Mozart with the World of Music. Leopold did not interfere with his son's long sitting behind the harpsichord and attempts to construct harmonies, melodies. Being a very stern man, his father, however, never broke his son’s fragile connection to music. On the contrary, he strongly encouraged his interest in music.
Wolfgang Mozart was very talented **. We all heard this word - "talent". In general terms, we understand its meaning. And we often ask ourselves whether I myself am talented or not. And if talented, then how much ... And what exactly am I talented. Scientists cannot yet answer with all certainty all questions concerning the mechanism of the origin of this phenomenon, the possibility of its being inherited. Maybe some of you young people will have to solve this mystery ...
**The word comes from the old measure of weight "talent". In the Bible there is a parable about three slaves who were presented with one such coin. One buried the talent in the ground, the other exchanged it. And the third one multiplied. In the meantime, it is considered that "Talent is an outstanding ability that opens with the acquisition of experience, forming a skill." Many experts believe that talent is given from birth. Other scientists experimentally came to the conclusion that almost every person is born with the makings of some talent, but whether he develops it in himself or not depends on many factors and factors, the most important of which is in our case a music teacher. By the way, Mozart's father, Leopold, reasonably believed that no matter how great the talent of Wolfgang was, it was impossible to achieve serious results without hard work. For example, an excerpt from his letter says about his serious attitude towards teaching his son: "... Every minute that is lost is lost forever ..." !!!
We have already learned a lot about the young Mozart. Now we will try to understand, and what kind of person was he, what was his 
there was a character. Young Wolfgang was a very kind, amiable, cheerful and cheerful boy. He had a very sensitive, vulnerable heart. Sometimes was too trusting, good-natured. He was characterized by amazing sincerity. There are cases when little Mozart, after another triumphant speech in response to praise from the titled persons, came close to them, looked into his eyes and asked: "Do you really love me. Do you really, really love me?"
He was an extremely enthusiastic boy. Enthusiastic to selflessness. This was most clearly manifested in his attitude to music lessons. Sitting at the clavier, he forgot about everything, even about food and time. His force dragged from a musical instrument.
You will probably be interested to know that at this age Wolfgang was alien to excessive pride, self-conceit and a sense of ingratitude. He had a light temper. But to what he was irreconcilable (this trait with all the force manifested itself in a more mature age) was the disrespectful attitude towards music from others.
Young Mozart knew how to be a good faithful friend. He was friends selflessly, very sincerely. Another conversation that he practically did not have the time and opportunity to communicate with peers ...
At the age of four and five, Mozart, thanks to his hard work and dedication with the great support of his father, managed to become a virtuoso performer of a large number of musical works. This contributed to the phenomenal ear for music, the memory of the boy. Soon he showed an ability to improvise.
From the age of five, Wolfgang began to compose music, and his father helped to transfer it to a music notebook. When he was seven years old, two opuses of Mozart were published for the first time, which were dedicated to the daughter of the Austrian king Victoria and Countess Tessay. At the age of eleven, Wolfgang wrote the symphony No. 6 in F major (the original of the score is kept in the library of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow). Wolfgang and his sister Maria together with the orchestra performed this piece for the first time in Brno. In memory of that concert, a contest of young pianists, no older than eleven years old, is held every year in this Czech city. It was at this age that Wolfgang, at the request of the Austrian emperor Joseph, composed the opera Imaginary Cowgirl.
When Wolfgang, in his six years, achieved great success in playing harpsichord, his father decided to demonstrate his son’s extraordinary talent in other cities and countries of Europe. That was the tradition at that time. In addition, Leopold began to think about finding a good musician for his son. I thought about the future.
The first tour-tour of Wolfgang (now it would be called a tour) was made in the German city of Munich and lasted three weeks. It was quite successful. This inspired his father and soon the trip resumed. During this period, the boy learned to play the organ, the violin, and a little later on the viola. The second tour lasted for three years already. My father, mother and sister Maria visited and gave concerts for the aristocracy in many cities of Germany, France, England and Holland. After a short break, a tour to musical Italy took place, where Wolfgang stayed for more than a year. In general, such a tour life lasted about ten years. During this time there was a triumph and grief, great happiness and tedious work (often concerts lasted for five hours). The world learned about a talented virtuoso musician and composer. But there was something else: the death of mother, serious illness. Wolfgang suffered from scarlet fever, typhoid fever (he was between life and death for two months), smallpox (he lost his sight for nine days). The "nomadic" life in youth, the frequent relocation of adulthood, and most importantly his unearthly talent, gave grounds for Albert Einstein to call Mozart "a guest on our land, both in a high, spiritual sense, and in the ordinary, everyday life ..."
On the verge of entering adulthood, at the age of 17, Mozart could be proud of having already written four operas, several spiritual works, thirteen symphonies, 24 sonatas, and much more. The dominant feature of his creations began to crystallize - sincerity, a combination of strict, clear forms with deep emotionality. A synthesis of Austrian and German songs with Italian melodiousness peculiar only to him has appeared. After just a few years, he is recognized as the greatest melodist. Deep penetration, poetry and subtle beauty of Mozart's music prompted PI Tchaikovsky to characterize the Master's work: “In my deep conviction, Mozart is the highest climax to which beauty has reached in music. Nobody made me cry, flutter with delight, from the consciousness of its closeness to something that we call an ideal like it. "
A little enthusiastic and very hardworking boy turned into a recognized composer, many of whose works became masterpieces of symphonic, opera, concert and choral music.
"And he left us away

And his light merged with the heavenly
Eternal Light (Goethe)
Rushing into space? Dissolved in ecumenical music? Or stayed with us? ... Anyway, the grave of Mozart has not yet been found ...
Didn't you notice that some whirlwind boy in jeans and a t-shirt sometimes wanders through the music box and timidly looks into your office? Little Wolfgang "listens" to your music and wishes you success.
