Blog Assignment #10

I have enjoyed all of Mozart’s pieces that I have listened too so far and I am amazed at how much talent he possessed at such a young age! Mozart began writing his compositions at the age of six, this is mind boggling to me because I have worked in a kindergarten classrooms with six year old children and some of them can barely read or write. According to sources online, Mozart was able to write an entire score Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere, from memory. In today’s world, many times musicians are looked down upon as if they are not smart enough to have a “real job” but its people like Mozart that show how amazing the mind of a musician really is. Another interesting fact about Mozart is that he quit one of his jobs because he felt like he was being underpaid. He knew his true value and was willing to fight in order to receive fair compensation.
