During Mozart's formative years his family made several European journeys in which he and Nannerl were shown as child prodigies. This began with an exhibition in 1762 at the Court of the Elector of Bavaria in Munich then in the same year at the Imperial Court in Vienna and Prague. A long concert tour spanning three and a half years followed taking the family to the courts of Munich Mannheim Paris London The Hague again to Paris and back home via Zürich Donaueschingen and Munich. During this trip Mozart met a great number of musicians and acquainted himself with the works of other composers. A particularly important influence was Johann Christian Bach whom Mozart visited in London in 1764 and 1765. The family again went to Vienna in late 1767 and remained there until December 1768.

  Mozart gained a reasonable popularity by publishing some beautiful sonatas (for violin and piano) music compositions and by performing in concerts and Operas like 'Die Entfuhrun aus dem Serail' (in 1782 which was one of his most successful operas with many songs in it. NOTE: Mozart wrote serious as well as comic operas (he wrote three comic operas in his life)) he also wrote some quartets which he had dedicated to his Haydn who appreciated Mozart for his knowledge of music and composition talent. Mozart also gained popularity by managing concerts on his own without any assistance he not only composed music for the concert but he also managed the orchestra. Mozart earned enough to live a comfortable life but because of his improper management of money and expenses he was never able to save money for future and always had to borrow from others when was in need of money.

Mozart spent rest of his life in Vienna; during this period he also visited various places such as Salzburg Berlin etc. to perform in operas dramas and concerts. Mozart died on 5 December 1791 in Vienna. (There are different stories regarding the death of musical genius according to one story he died of the feverish illness (Rheumatic Fever) and according to another he died of poisoning).
