Discuss the questions with a partner. Do you like classical music? What do you know about Mozart?

Yes, I like classical music because it can be relaxing, emotional, and inspiring. I especially enjoy listening to it when I need to concentrate, read, or simply have a quiet moment. Classical music does not always have lyrics, but it can still tell a story and create strong feelings through melody, rhythm, and instruments. Some pieces are calm and gentle, while others are energetic and dramatic.

Mozart was one of the most famous composers in the history of classical music. His full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and he was born in Austria in 1756. He was a child prodigy: he started playing music and composing when he was very young. Mozart wrote many different kinds of music, including operas, symphonies, concertos, piano pieces, and chamber music.

His music is often beautiful, clear, lively, and full of emotion. Some of his best-known works include Eine kleine Nachtmusik, The Magic Flute, and The Marriage of Figaro. Even though Mozart died very young, at the age of 35, he created more than 600 musical works. Today, people all over the world still listen to and perform his music because it is timeless and important.
