Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart (1791 -- 1844), also known

conductor, and teacher whose musical style was an early
Romanticism, heavily influenced by his father's mature
style.
He was born in Vienna, five months before his father's
death. Although he was baptized Franz Xaver Mozart,
from birth on he was always called Wolfgang by his
parents. He received excellent musical instruction from
Antonio Salieri and Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and studied
composition with Johann Georg Albrechtsberger and
Sigismund von Neukomm. He learned to play both the
piano and violin. Like his father, he started to
compose at an early age. "In April 1805, the
thirteen-year-old Wolfgang Mozart made his debut in
Vienna in a concert in the Theater an der Wien."
Mozart had a relatively small music output (his opus
numbers only go up to 30) and after 1820 he seems to
have given up composing almost entirely; in particular,
there is an 11-year gap (1828 to 1839) when he seems to
have not written anything. Nevertheless, recordings of
his music can be found today. He wrote mainly chamber
music and piano music, with his largest compositions
being the two piano concertos.
Although this piece was originally written for Voice
(Soprano) & Piano, I created this arrangement for
Violin, Viola & Harp.
