Mozart as a Child

Mozart & Marie Antoinette

In 1762, when he was six years old, young Wolfgang did a concert at Schonbrunn, the Austrian royal palace.

After his concert, he was playing with the young princesses, and he slipped and fell on a polished floor. Bursting into tears, he was picked up and comforted by a seven-year-old Marie Antoinette.

Mozart then kissed the future queen of France. "You are nice," he declared. "I will marry you."

Allegri's Miserere

This is the piece of music young Wolfgang "bootlegged" from the vatican. The video isn't much, although it gives an idea about the complexity of the music. It is best to just close your eyes and listen.
