SALZBURG, AUSTRIA, 22 AUGUST 2019: Birthplace And Birth House Of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Editorial Photo

Mozart`s birthplace, in German: Mozarts Geburtshaus or Hagenauerhaus, was the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at No. 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg. The Mozart family resided on the third floor from 1747 to 1773. Mozart himself was born here on 27 January 1756. Transformed in museum since 1880, Mozart`s birthplace introduces visitors to the early life of the composer, his first musical instruments, his friends and his passionate interest in opera. The third floor exhibits Mozart`s childhood violin, harpsichord, as well as portraits, documents, family letters, and early editions of his music. There are also records of his life in Vienna and of his wife and family. The second floor is devoted to Mozart`s interest in opera and includes the clavichord on which he composed The Magic Flute. The first floor replicates living conditions in Mozart`s day with period furniture. Original documents and paintings illustrate his life in Salzburg. Other items in the museum are an incomplete portrait of Mozart painted by Joseph Lange, his brother-in-law in 1789 one of Mozart`s striking portraits, pictures of his childhood, and his childhood violin.
