Recognized by almost all musical powers to be one of, if not the most fantastic arrangers of unequaled, Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria on 27 January 1756. He was christened Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophillus Mozart, the Greek "Theophillus" meaning "beloved of God." This has been rendered as Amadeo or Amadè (Italian), Amadé (French, his preferred usage) and Gottlieb (German), all of which translate out the same.
