2. Explore pieces by Mozart.
Listen to several pieces.
Maybe a composition when he was very young. - Minuet in G major KV 1 by W.A. Mozart When he was 5 years old.
An opera has words which can make it instantly recognizable. Find quotes from Mozart operas.
German or Italian?
Examples:
Zum Ziele führt dich diese Bahn
This path will take you to your destination
soll die Empfindung Liebe sein?
– Ja, ja, die Liebe ist's allein.
