Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart(yes that is his real name) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He showed prodigious ability(his dad had him in lessons from age 3 until his teens and made him practice!), he started composing at age five and performed for European royalty.
Mozart learned from voraciously from others and developed a mature playful style of music that was light and graceful. He also composed some dark and passionate pieces. Over 600 works, symphonies, church music, chamber music, operas & choral pieces.
You can hear his playfulness in the Marriage of Figaro overture.
