A composer/pianist who arguably wrote some of the greatest
music of all time. Mozart was neither
popular nor rich during his lifetime. In fact, Mozart was extremely poor and could hardly afford food for himself, his wife, and his two children. Mozart was virtually starved at the time of his death, he
may have lived longer had he more
money to afford food and good living conditions.
It is not known where Mozart is buried because he did not have enough
money left for his family to buy him a proper burial. It is assumed that he was buried in a mass grave for paupers. Sadly, many composers, painters, and playwrights died unpopular and relatively poor and have only received fame and glory far after their deaths.
Johnny: Mozart was a genius musician who lived rich, died young, and wrote the best
music ever.
Hans: He most certainly did not live rich, and to say that he wrote the best music ever is completely opinionated and debatable.
Johnny: Oh sorry, I'll go back to kindergarten now.
Hans: Ok good, I'll be over at Julliard if you need anything else.
