Osher Lifelong Learning- Mozart theChild Prodigy

Presented by Erik Nielsen, Professional Composer. Most of us know the story of the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who astonished the crowned heads of Europe as he and his sister Nannerl played duets, improvised and created music on the spot from a prompt given them by their father or someone else. Once the young child grew out of prodigy status, however, he had to earn his living by his art. Realize that though the money was often inadequate, Mozart’s variety of creations demonstrated his genius. Experience samples of Mozart’s work to realize how remarkable (and wonderful!) it is. Prepare to be exhilarated and moved by the power of Mozart’s creativity.
