Original Art: La Chasse (KV 300 [299d]) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Era: Circa 1778 : Region- Paris, France
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was one of the most prolific and influential composers to come out of the Classical era. Born in Salzburg, Austria, his musical talent quickly emerged and he became a highly sought after child prodigy. His age captivated audiences but it was truly his music that entranced listeners, who were deeply moved by the magical and inspiring operas, piano concertos, symphonies, string quartets, and string quintets he created.
Today, all that remains of this work is a scrap of paper ruled with 16 staves, and the world owes a great debt to Ludwig von Köchel for endeavouring to catalogue the works of Mozart following his death in 1791. It wasn’t until 1862 that Köchel succeeded in this undertaking, and his 551-page catalogue is renowned as being the complete musical works of Mozart. Revisions have, of course, been made to the compendium over the years, but the original “K”-based numbering system remains.
