Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was a child prodigy who created some of the world’s most creative and best loved music. He wrote Le nozze di Figaro in 1786, aged 30. The Overture by itself has become an audience favorite.
Reginald Foort studied organ with Sir Walter Parratt and obtained his F.R.C.O. in 1911 at a comparatively young age. He preferred to be described as a concert organist rather than a cinema or theatre organist although in fact most of his playing was done in the theatre setting; his one thousandth organ recital was given in 1939. He also took instruction in classical piano, which contributed to his much admired keyboard dexterity. He studied with the great Leschetitzky (a student of Czerny, who studied with Beethoven), and performed as a solo pianist for some years. Moderate.
