MUSIK IN OUR LIFE It is difficult to live without music. We hear music everywhere: in the streets, at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops, in the parks and in the concert halls, at the seaside, sometimes in the forest. We can’t live without music. We like to listen to music, we enjoy to dance to music, we play musical instruments. Both classical and modern music are popular in our country. I is fond of classical music. Sometimes I spend my time, listening to music by Wolfgang Mozart.

GENIUS CHILD Wolfgang Mozart was a well-known Austrian composer. He was a genius. Mozart was born in 1756. He was born in Austria. His father was a musician. When he was a child he began to show his wonderful talent for music.

Music lessons He tried to play the clavier, when he was three years old. He took a great interest in his sister’s music lessons. He heard music and tried to play it himself by ear. His father decided to teach him to play.

Big city When he was four years old he started composing his own tunes. He played them on the clavier well too. When he was six years old his father decided to take him and his sister to the big cities in Europe.

Italy Two children gave concerts there. The audience was delighted when the small boy was playing. Mozart visited many countries with his father, playing the clavier. When he was 14 he was invited to Italy. He could not imagine his life without music. He composed many sonatas and symphonies in Italy. He composed tunes all the time.

My hero is Mozart because I like people whose actions are brave and generous. Besides, Mozart was very talented. I like people such as Mozart.
