But he filled those years so totally with 626 musical works that the world today recognises him as one of the greatest composers ever. Among his works were 50 symphonies and 19 operas, including much-loved works like <em>The Marriage of Figaro</em>, <em>Don Giovanni</em> and <em>The Magic Flute</em>.</p> <p>Mozart was born in the Austrian city of Salzburg, known for its salt mines, in 1756. His father, Leopold, was the choirmaster to the Archbishop of Salzburg.</p>
