沃爾夫?qū)ぐ敹嘁了埂つ厥菤W洲音樂史上一位罕見的天才。他不僅是歐洲最偉大的作曲家之一，還是世界上最偉大的音樂家之一。他被認(rèn)為是有史以來世界上最杰出的作曲家和指揮家。

Mozart was born in a court musician family in Salzburg， Austria on January 27th， 1756. His father was a music teacher. When he was very young Mozart had a strong love for music and he took daily music lessons from his father. And his father always encouraged him to play music hard.

1756年1月27日，莫扎特出生在奧地利薩爾斯堡一個宮廷樂師之家。他的父親是一位音樂教師，莫扎特自幼就對音樂產(chǎn)生了濃濃的愛，每天都跟著父親上音樂課，他的父親也總是鼓勵他努力地演奏音樂。

Mozart showed his special musical talents when he was very young. Because of this， he was known as “music wonder child”. He began to play the piano at the age of 3. When he was 5， he could not only play several musical instruments but had also composed a number of short pieces of music. When he was seven， he went with his family on a long tour. Everywhere he went， he won great cheers for his wonderful playing. At the age of 8， he wrote the first symphony2. When he was 11， he finished his first opera. When he was 14， he conducted the band of his first opera. It could be said that Mozart was born for music， and from the moment he was born， he was fused into music.

莫扎特自幼就展現(xiàn)出自己獨特的音樂天賦，為此，人們稱他“音樂神童”。他3歲時開始彈鋼琴，5歲時不僅能演奏一些樂器，還能寫出一些簡短的曲譜，7歲時他和家人做了一次長途旅行，所到之處無不因為他的精彩表演而獲得陣陣喝彩聲，8歲時他寫下了第一部交響樂，11歲時便完成了他的第一部歌劇，14歲時指揮樂隊演出了該歌劇。可以說，莫扎特是為音樂而生的，從他出生的那一刻開始，他就和音樂融為一體了。

In 1781， Mozart moved to Vienna. Then he met Haydn there and they became great friends， and each learned a great deal from the other. They wrote their best music during the ten years of

their friendship of their lives. In 1791， Mozart became seriously ill and died in Vienna on December 5， at the age of 35. In fact， Mozart made his music into a “l(fā)ive-and-let-live” completely new place in the last year of his life， this very special time.

1781年莫扎特搬到了維也納，在那里他遇見了海頓，他們成為了好朋友，從彼此那里學(xué)到了很多。在他們10年友誼期間，他們各自都創(chuàng)作出了一生中最優(yōu)秀的曲子。1791年12月5日，莫扎特在維也納病逝，享年35歲。事實上，莫扎特在他生命的最后一年，那段非常特殊的日子里，他的音樂已經(jīng)進入了一個“和平共存”的全新境界。

Mozart was a very creative composer. He left more than 600 works during his 35 years short life period. His main works included 22 operas， including The Marriage of Figaro， Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute， 41 symphonies， 43 concertos3， 13 serenades4， 16 divertimentos5 and so on. In addition， his quartets6 are also excellent， equaled only by those of Haydn and Beethoven.endprint
