Throughout his relatively short life, he composed over 600 works, spanning virtually every genre of his time, including symphonies, operas, concertos, and chamber music. Mozart's compositions are renowned for their melodic beauty, formal elegance, and rich harmonies, earning him a place among the greatest composers of all time. His operas, such as "Le nozze di Figaro" and "Don Giovanni," remain staples of the operatic repertoire, while his symphonies and piano concertos continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Despite his untimely death at the age of 35, Mozart's musical legacy endures, inspiring generations of musicians and composers.
