So you can tell that he was destine to become a great musician. Mozart's writing was full of compassion, blend of melody and grace, and precision. He began producing minuets and other small pieces for harpsichord, and several sonatas for the harpsichord and violin. Music came as easy as breathing. Mozart had a great ear.

The ceremony was a simple one, the only ones present being the bride's mother and youngest sister, two witnesses, and a friend of the family.
