Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791).

Mozart was widely recognized as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. Considered a child prodigy, he began composing and playing intricate and celebrated compositions at a very young age.

Although you are looking at the face of a genius, what you don’t see is a very funny person.  There was another side to Mozart – he had an incredibly bawdy sense of humor with a penchant for remarkably childish behavior!  He also loved his mother, his animals (a fox terrier and a starling,) and billiards!
