Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a name synonymous with musical genius, yet many aspects of his life remain shrouded in mystery. Born in Salzburg in 1756, Mozart was exposed to music from an early age. Encouraged by his father, Leopold, who was not only an avid musician but also a devoted teacher, Mozart's musical journey began at the tender age of five when he was taught to play the harpsichord. This prodigious talent led him to compose his first opera, "Apollo and Hyacinthus," by the age of eleven.
