Last week I moved back to Philadelphia,
the city where I was born. When I was six,
my father, who had always appreciated the
beauty of the farmlands there, moved us to
Lancaster County, which is famous for its
peacefulness
and
leisurely
pace. Philadelphia, which is dirtier and noisier,
is also more violent. Its streets are more
dangerous than the country lanes to which I
am accustomed. Still, a city that offers many
types of restaurants and entertainment is more
exciting
than
the
quiet
country town from which we had thought about
moving
for
years. Moving
back
was
an idea whose time had finally come.
Mozart, many of whose 600 compositions are masterpieces of the classical era, is among the most popular composers of all time. Mozart showed promise early in life. At an age when most children can only play "Chopsticks," five-year-old Mozart, who was already competent on piano and violin, was performing for royalty. The court musician job for which he was hired at 17 bored young Mozart, who quit the job and traveled seeking a position that might challenge him. The music that he wrote in Salzburg, and which made him famous, never made him rich. The musical genius who so enriched the world died young, ill, and penniless.
