Classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was a piano maestro by the age of 5. His piano lessons began as early as 3 years old, and throughout his short 35 years on earth, he composed over 600 musical works.
Aside from the piano, the visionary musician also played several other instruments, including the harpsichord, organ, and violin. But no other instrument infatuated him quite like one of the violin’s stringed sisters, the deep-bellied, soulful viola.
