Lesson9: 莫扎特 Mozart （奥地利）原文：U: Uncle N: NieceN: Uncle Jeremy, whats that beautiful music youre listening to? I mean, it sounds familiar, but I dont know what it is.U: Its Mozart, Katie. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This piece is called Lucio Silla and was written in around 1770.N: Wow! Thats a long time ago. I think its unbelievable that we still listen to his music today. Didnt he start composing when he was 2 years old or something?U: Actually he was 5 years old, but yes, he was very young indeed. When he was 6 he played for the Bavarian Elector and Empress.N: Thats amazing! When I was 6 years old, I was playing with dolls, not performing in public to famous people.U: His father decided he should cash-in on Wolfgangs talents, so the family set off- on a trip which took them to London and Paris.N: So, his father wanted to make some money and took Mozart all over the world to play in public.U: He played for the English and French royal families, who were astonished by his talents. After that, they headed for Vienna.N: He must have had a very busy life as a child. Where was he when he wrote the piece we are listening to now?U: He was in Italy at that time, acquainting himself with Italian styles. During that visit he also wrote Mitridate, which is also an opera and a serenata for performance in Milan.N:He must have still been a teenager at that time, maybe a little younger than me. I was scared when I moved away to go to university, but he had been working around the world before he was 18.U:Then, in 1773 he went to Vienna again, where he wrote a set ofstring quartets and, on his return, wrote a group of symphonies including his two earliest, No. 25 in G Minor and 29 in A.N: When did he die? Was he old?U: He died in 1791 and was buried in a Vienna suburb, with little ceremony and in an unmarked grave.N:He died young, must have been because his life was so busy.译文：U：叔叔 N：侄女N:杰里米叔叔，你在听什么美妙的音乐？我是说，听起来那么耳熟，可就是不知道是什么曲子。U:凯蒂，这是莫扎特的曲子，沃尔夫冈?阿玛多伊斯?莫扎特。这是他的歌剧《卢齐奥?
