Excerpt from Musical History, Biography, and Criticism, Vol. 2 Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart was born at Salzburg on the 27th of January, 1756. His father, Leopold Mozart, was a musician of some eminence, and, as well as his wife, Anna Maria Pertl, was remarkable for personal beauty. They had seven children, of whom only two survived, a girl named Mary Anne, and the subject of the present sketch. When young Mozart was about three years of age, his father began to give his sister, then about seven, lessons on the harpsichord, by which the boy's attention was immediately attracted. His great amusement was to endeavour to find out thirds on the instrument, and nothing could exceed his delight when he discovered them. At the age of four, he had learned to play several minuets, and other little pieces, and before he had attained his fifth year, he had made attempts at composition.
