  • Mozart was a musical prodigy and both performed and composed a number of works at a very young age. It seems remarkable to us, but how was this received at the time? In what ways were his childhood tours similar and different from the tours of young musicians today?
  • Support the following statement by Mozart with reference to at least 3 other composers: “It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me. I assure you no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I. There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied.”
