My Hero

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
by: Joshua from Morinville, Canada

Mozart is my hero because he played beautiful music. I hope that Mozart’s music will be playing in heaven when I get there.

Mozart was born in Salzberg, Austria in 1756. He was known as a wonder child because he could play the keyboard at age three, and composed little piano pieces at age five. He also produced symphonies at age nine and complete operas at age twelve. Mozart knew several languages as well.

Mozart lived with his father, mother and sister. Mozart moved to Vienna where he died on 05 Dec. 1791 at age 35 of poor health.

I like Mozart’s music because it calms me and I can sit and relax listening to it. I wish I could play music as well as Mozart did.

I wish Mozart was still alive so I could go and see and maybe talk to him.
