Early life of Amadeus Mozart—-Who are those strangers whose music I play. 


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart improvised at the age of two and played violin by ear in his father’s quartet at the age of four.  One amazing story tells how little Mozart actually substituted for a violinist one night simply by picking up the instrument and playing without any prior tutelage.  Wolfgang wrote notes before words. The baby sat at the clavier for any length of time, willingly and eagerly touching the keys tentatively and delicately.  At five he cared for nothing but music.  His first book of minuets and songs was published when he was six.  One of young Mozart’s tricks was to play and improvise on the clavier for the Kings and Queens of Europe—-blindfolded!
