[00:06.03]Lesson 13
[00:11.27]Exercise 1.3
[00:13.52]Welcome back to True Stories from History.
[00:16.64]With me is
[00:18.04]Mr. Richards of the National Music School.
[00:21.77]Richards, everyone knows that
[00:24.20]the young Mozart¹ was a talented child.
[00:26.83]But what does that mean exactly?
[00:29.97]Well,to give you an idea,
[00:32.32]by the time he was six years old,
[00:35.05]Mozart could already play the keyboard
[00:37.76]and the violin.
[00:39.00]And he could read a piece of music
[00:40.85]just one time and play it immediately².
[00:45.03]And he could invent pieces of music
[00:47.02]in the style of famous composers³.
[00:49.94]Could he write music at an early age as well?
[00:53.50]Yes, he could.
[00:55.02]He was amazing.
[00:56.67]When he was six years old
[00:58.63]he wrote five short piano pieces that
[01:01.12]people still play today.
[01:03.44]He wrote music for the violin when he was seven
[01:07.03]a long piece of music at the age of eight and
[01:10.31]even a comic opera at the age of twelve.
[01:14.01]When he was fourteen,
[01:15.79]he went for a performance in Rome⁴.
[01:18.64]This is a difficult piece
[01:20.86]for many different voices.
[01:23.07]We don't know how he did it,
[01:24.84]but that same night
[01:25.94]he wrote down the whole piece from memory.
[01:25.94]
