I am an Austrian
composer and pianist. I was born in 1756. I was a child prodigy. I was taught how to play the harpsichord and the violin
by my father. By the age of five I was composing my own pieces. When I was six I was performing concerts all over Europe displaying
my remarkable musical ability. I could compose an entire symphony in a very short time. I could write out an entire score
of music after only hearing it once. During my brief life I wrote numerous symphonies, operas, concertos, songs, church music,
chamber music and keyboard music. I was only 35 years old when I died. Who Am I?
If you know who this composer is, e-mail me the answer and win a prize!!
