 Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely early. 
Mozart began leaning to play harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at which he also first appeared in public. 
From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and musical centers of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life - he died at the age of thirty five – traveling.
