A restless genius who composed at impossible, dazzling speed.
Mozart was the ultimate hummingbird — a prodigy who blazed through life at full throttle, composing over 600 works before dying at 35, constantly moving from opera to symphony to concerto with breathtaking speed and intensity. He was charming, witty, and impossible to pin down, famous for his playful, even bawdy humor and social vivacity even as his inner world churned with obsessive creative energy. Like the hummingbird, he was vivid and brilliant in motion, never truly at rest, darting between projects and patrons with a restless brilliance that left the world dazzled.
