 ===== Mozart Once Completely Transcribed A Composition He Heard =====
+If producing compositions at such a young age isn't enough to wow you, consider this: Allegri's Miserere was once perfectly memorized by Mozart. Mozart had heard it while visiting Rome with his family and after attending a ceremony at the Sistine Chapel. Despite only hearing it once, Mozart went on to produce a copy of the work, albeit he also attended a second service to make adjustments.

-If producing compositions at such a young age isn't enough to wow you, consider this: Allegri's Miserere was once perfectly memorized by Mozart. Miserere was based on Psalm 51, and dissemination of the written composition was severely limited by the Vatican City at the time.
+===== Kicked Out =====

+Getting fired is a typical metaphor for losing your job. This was literal in Mozart's situation. When Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Colloredo fired Mozart, his servant not only escorted him out, but literally kicked him out.

+===== Mozart's Father Didn't Like His Wife =====

+===== Haydn =====
+Haydn lavished admiration on the young Mozart, assuring his father that there was no one like him. [([[https://www.themarginalian.org/2016/10/07/mozart-haydn-friendship/|The Marginalian]])]

+===== Mass In C Minor =====
+In 1783, he created the major work Mass in C minor, for which his wife Constanze performed a solo part when it was debuted in Salzburg.[([[https://www.laphil.com/musicdb/pieces/2311/great-mass-in-c-minor|LA Phil]])]
+===== Scatology =====
+Mozart adored producing scatological music, which is very primitive, unsophisticated music made up of four-letter syllables, in addition to compositions such as Ave Verum Corpus. [([[https://www.thepiano.sg/piano/read/mozart-and-his-infamous-letters-scatalogical-humour|The Piano]])]
+===== Margaret Thatcher =====
+Margaret Thatcher, the British Prime Minister, refused to accept that Mozart, the musician, could have degraded himself by penning such ditties. [([[https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/she-may-not-have-known-it-but-even-thatcher-was-not-immune-to-art-s-capacity-to-challenge-8568942.html|Independent]])]

+===== Financial Troublemaker =====
+Mozart made a good living from his great operas, but he was a spendthrift who frequently ran into financial troubles. [([[https://jessamyrobinson.com/2017/01/02/wolfgang-mozart-1756-1791/|Jessamy Robinson]])]
+===== Roman Catholic =====
+He was a devout Roman Catholic, and some of his most important works were religious in nature. [([[https://www.kammerorchester.com/concerts/composer/wolfgang-amadeus-mozart_94.html|kammerorchester]])]
+===== Last Symphony =====
+Mozart's last composition was Symphony No. 41 in C Major, often known as the Jupiter Symphony. This label was assigned to the work after Mozart's death, rather than by Mozart himself. It's still uncertain who named it originally, but Mozart's son Franz said composer and musician Johann Peter Salomon did.[([[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Jupiter-Symphony|Britannica]])]
+===== Unknown Reason Of Death =====
+All that is confirmed is that he died of sickness, which was accompanied by symptoms such as pain, swelling, and vomiting. In Mozart's day and age, the official record merely cites his cause of death as acute miliary fever. This has given rise to a slew of speculations about the reason, ranging from streptococcus or a particularly nasty attack of the flu to suspicions that Mozart's enemies poisoned him with mercury. [([[https://www.quora.com/How-did-Mozart-die|Quora]])]
+===== Constanze Took Mozart's Death Badly =====
+Constanze is said to have crept onto Mozart's deathbed, wanting to catch his illness and die beside him. [([[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/11952125_What_Killed_Mozart|Researchgate]])]
