In the history of music, Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart as Austrian composer, teacher and performer; youngest son of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1791-1844).
Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart was born at Vienna in 1791. His recorded nationality is Austria.
The concert hall and the public audience were new in this period; music was beginning to be written for buyers rather than employers.
He worked as composer, pianist and conductor.
The instruments recorded are piano.
His work is classed as symphony.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
That the work came out of Austria shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart died in 1844, aged 53. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
