Hello, mate🙋‍♀️ today's topic is biography. But what is a biography?

A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. It involves more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of their life, including intimate details of experience and may include an analysis of the subject's personality.

Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life. One in-depth form of biographical coverage is called legacy writing. Works in diverse media, from literature to film, form the genre known as biography.

Example:

A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart whose real name is Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Gottlieb Mozart (born in Salzburg, January 27, 1756 died in Vienna, Austria, December 5, 1791 at the age of 35 years) was a composer. He is considered one of the most important and most famous composers of European classical music in history. His works (about 700 songs) include compositions that are widely recognized as the pinnacle of symphonic music, chamber music, piano music, opera music, and choral music. Examples of his work are the operas Don Giovanni and Die Zauberflöte. Many of Mozart's works are considered the standard repertoire of classical concerts and are recognized as masterpieces of classical music. His works are listed in the Köchel-Verzeichnis catalog.

Mozart, who was known for his absolute tuning ability (recognizing notes correctly without the aid of an instrument), knew music from birth. His father, Johann Georg Leopold Mozart was an important composer of his time, one of his most important works being Kindersinfonic ("Children's Symphony"). Wolfgang was the youngest of seven children who died prematurely. Only he and Maria Anna Mozart ("Nannerl") survived to adulthood. By the time he was four years old, Mozart was already able to play the harpsichord and improvise on the music of his predecessors. He even wrote his first composition when he was five years old. His works include the Violin Sonata, and several Minuets. Leopold collected all these compositions without his son's knowledge. Likewise with Nannerl, he is also a very good pianist. Leopold, who discovered the talents of his two children, felt "called to show them off to the rest of Europe.

Mozart was then taken to play the piano in front of the king of Bayem in Munich. On

In September 1762, Leopold took a sabbatical from office to promote

his son to the kings. They then left for Vienna. There Mozart plays the piano in front

Queen Maria Theresia is mesmerized by Mozart and Nannerl's playing skills. After the concert

At this time, Mozart had to follow a fairly long concert for three years, namely Paris (1763, 1765)

and London (1764-1765). In those places, Mozart held concerts in front of the kings

and also tested by them. Among others, by improvising the themes given by

examiner with his eyes covered by a piece of cloth. Mozart is welcomed as a child prodigy everywhere. In London, he also meets Johann Sebastian Bach's son, namely Johann Christian Bach who is often referred to as English Bach. Mozart played a piano sonata in four hands as he sat on Bach's lap. The symphonies of Bach and Carl Friedrich Abel influenced Mozart's first symphonies (C.16 & C.19), 1764 & 1765. In 1767, Mozart composed several piano sonatas of other composers and made them four his first Concerto piano pieces (K.37, K.39, K.40, K.41). In 1768, at the request of the Emperor of Vienna.

Mozart composed Opera buffa (comic opera), La Finta Semplice (but not staged) and the operetta Bastien und Bastienne.

The peak of Mozart's career was in the period 1784-1786. Mozart was very diligent in composing. He composed twelve concertos and is considered by musicologists to be his most important works. Even though Emperor Joseph II was listening to Mozart's concert, it didn't help at all
