Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely early. Mozart began learning to play the harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at which he also first appeared in p ublic. From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life ( he died at the age of 35) travelling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also wrote a lot of operas. His first opera,

Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was perfomed in Milan when he was 14, and it was one of many successes in the life of the genius.

City life or Country life

              Which place is better – the city or the country? Two American teenagers talk about where they live.

Leo, 16: I live in New york and it’s great. There are huge shopping centres  and interesting places to go. My mum loves all the art galleries and museums, but I like Central Park where I go skateboarding. It’s big enough to get away from the noise and traffic. The country isn’t for me. It isn’t exciting enough for people of my age. Most people don’t live close enough to their friends to have a good social life. It’s too quiet and too boring . City life is the best!

 Amelie, 14: I live on a ranch in the country, in Colorado. In the summer, we go hiking in the mountains, and in the winter I go snowboarding I really like it because it’s relaxing and quiet . I can’t imagine life in the city . It isn’t safe enough to walk around alone and it’s too dangerous to cycle in the streets because of the traffic. Overrall, I think the city is too noisy ,too dirty, too crowded and too expensive. I prefer country life!
