The Evolution of Mozart’s Music (From 5 to 35 Years Old)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s first surviving musical composition was created at age five and in this video visualization, you can hear and see how his music evolved from that early piece to those created in his 20s and 30s. Not knowing a whole lot about music or of Mozart in particular, I was shocked at how incredible his compositions were at ages five, six, and seven. Sheesh.

This is insane. I had no idea some of the pieces he composed as a CHILD were the same classic pieces that anyone whoever learned piano would have played.
The excellent BBC show You're Dead to Me just released an episode on Mozart over the weekend!
