Explanation:

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, beloved for his deep and harmonious music, had an intense and brief life, but unlike the myths surrounding his name, this early genius was a great worker who died at 35.

    At the age of six Mozart charmed her virtuosity as piano performer Empress Maria Teresa in Vienna, later captivating the courts of France and England.

    Historian Gabriele Ramsauer states that Mozart did not live in poverty but "made a lot of money" for most of his existence, going into debt at the end of his life.
