He was a child prodigy too, composing at the age of five, and playing before royalty such as the Austrian empress at six. Mozart was influenced by other composers, such as J. S. Bach, Georg Handel, and Joseph Hadyn. He is most famous for his works of chamber, piano, particularly his piano concertos, and choral music.
