Mozart Found Music Before He Could Spell It

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began making music as a small child and kept turning sounds into lively pieces people still play.

The whole story

1. Early one morning, Wolfgang sat at the harpsichord. He pressed one key, then another. The room answered with a bright little tune.

2. His sister Nannerl was practicing nearby. Wolfgang listened closely. Then he reached for the keys and played a tune of his own.

3. Wolfgang could not yet spell the tune. He tapped its rhythm on the table instead. Tap, tap, pause. Tap, tap, pause.

4. His father gave him paper and a quill. Wolfgang made dark curls, pale smudges, and one very large ink spot. The tune was still inside him.

5. Wolfgang tried again. His father helped him find the notes. Soon, the little room rang with skips, turns, and cheerful surprises.

6. Nannerl clapped. His father smiled. Wolfgang had found a way to catch sounds and set them down.

7. Before long, Wolfgang played for visitors and princes. He was still small, but his music filled the room.

8. Travel brought new sounds: wheels on roads, birds in trees, and footsteps in busy streets. Wolfgang gathered them all.

9. As he grew, the sounds grew too. He shaped them into lively pieces for voices, instruments, and dancing feet.

10. People played his music in halls and homes. The notes skipped, sparkled, and danced from one listener to another.

11. Years passed, but the music kept finding new ears. Children and grown-ups still play it today.

12. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart began making music as a small child. He kept turning sounds into lively pieces people still play.
