Piece #31 - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - W.A. Mozart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT7_Y1pIBb4

Down to the top 3! Coming in third place, is the wunderkind Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. As I said before, there may not be a more universal composer than Mozart who wrote for virtual all kinds and creeds during his life.

Factoids:
  • Mozart was a child prodigy, both as a keyboardist and composer.
  • He has amassed numerous symphonies before the age of 12.
  • Other contenders for "most famous piece" include: Piano Concerto No. 21, Overture to Marraige of Figaro, Symphony No. 40, Requiem.
  • It should be noted that he died before Requiem was completed. The work was later finished by one of his students.
Have at it!
