A note by Leopold in Nannerl's music book (Nannerl was Mozart’s sister’s nickname) – the Nannerl Notenbuch – records that little Wolfgang had learned several of the pieces at the age of four. Mozart's first compositions, a small Andante (K. 1a) and Allegro (K. 1b), were written in 1761, when he was five years old.                          
Composed over six hundred works, the first when he was five years old.

Born in Salzburg, capital of the sovereign Archbishopric of Salzburg, in what is now Austria, but then part of the Holy Roman Empire.
