Mozart’s Most Obscure Yet Masterful Works
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, child prodigy and arguably the most influential classical composer to date. He inspired other very important composers like Beethoven and Wagner. His brilliance was demonstrated time and time again in his many compositions. Some of most famous works include Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) and is heralded as his greatest opera, Symphony No. 40 in G-minor, Requiem (his last work that was left unfinished), Eline Kleine Nachtmusik, Clarinet Concerto, and Piano Concerto No. 21. Many classical music enthusiasts and critics alike are pretty much all in agreement when it comes to determining what are his most seminal pieces and the works he is most famous for.Didn’t catch that? This explains it. However, Mozart wrote his first composition at the age of five and and his first completed symphony at the age of eight. He died at the age of 35 so it stands to reason that he completed hundreds or compositions, many of which rest in obscurity, only known to true aficiondos of classical music; that is until now. Here is a list of Mozart’s most obscure, yet masterful works.

- Ave Verum Corpus is a very short piece but it is elegant and timeless.
-Cosi fann Tutte is an opera about betrayal and deceit. The opera reaches in an speaks to the depths of human guile
-Don Giovanni is another opera that regales the seductive exploits of a young nobleman who reaches a very tragic end.
-Symphony No. 5 was composed by Mozart at the age fo nine; it features two horns, two oboes, and strings and is scored in the common three-movement Italianate form.
