- He was the 7th and last born child of Leopold Mozart and Anna Maria. Born on 27th January 1756 as a great consolation to his parents, as five of their children had died while still infants.
- His first symphony was written when he was only 8 years.
- Died before completing his final work, Requiem Mass In D Minor, however, his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed it.
- The original manuscript for his Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds is now lost.
