The Beginning of Noteworthy Masterpieces
At the age of 11 I being so amazing composed my first Opera like composition. Three weeks after that, I conducted the music for the opera Apollo et Hyacinthus, my very first complete opera. I was very excited and felt very accomplsihed. Not to brag or anything, but it seems like a major achievement for a boy so young if I do say so myself. http://opera.suite101.com/article.cfm/mozart_in_the_history_of_opera -
The Taking of Mozart
On August 4, 1782 I married the lovely and voluptuous Constanze Weber. Being so very young and inept, I orginally fell in love with Weber's sister Aloysia, she rejected me and my whole world was crushed. I was alone. A few years had passed and I moved in the same apartment buildilng as Weber's family. Eventually I grew fond of Miss Constanze and eventually I wed her. One of the happiest days of my life. http://www.aeiou.at/moz-biog.htm;internal&action=_setlanguage.action?LANGUAGE=en -
A Brotherhood of Man
I was admitted as an apprentice to the Viennese Masonic lodge called Zur Wohltätigkeit. Shortly after being admitted I became a Master Mason one of the highest and most notiable positions in this organization. This seemed a perfect fit for me.

The Magic of Opera
I became really close to a man by the name of Emanuel Schikaneder, an actor, singer and theatre manager. He employed me and payed me a pretty hefty salary to compose a magic opera he called "The Magic Flute". On September 30, it was played in the Theater an der Wien. This opera was such a success it gained me my world wide fame.
I had finally done it. I was a living legend and my name would live on forever.
