The prodigy Mozart created his first symphonies at the age of 9 years. His first opera "La finta semplice" he wrote at the request of the Emperor at the age of eleven. After courtly service in Salzburg and a position as court organist, Mozart earned his bread as a freelance composer and musician from 1781. The prelude was the order of Emperor Joseph II for a German Nationalsingpiel, as a result of the "Abduction from the Seraglio" was created. "The Marriage of Figaro or The Great Day" (1786 world premiere in the Vienna Burgtheater) became an overwhelming success, especially in Prague. But even an appointment as imperial chamber composer in 1887 could not stop the financial decline of Mozart. His health deteriorated, and on December 5, 1791, he died completely impoverished and without recognition of his brilliant musical creation.
