Lesson 65 Television Day: Mozart¹

TV Commentaty:

Would you like to be able to play a musical² instrument³ really well? Who wouldn't! Perhaps you are learning⁴ to play an instrument now. Perhaps your mother tells you to practise-and perhaps you don't enjoy it! We'd all like to play easily and well. Mozart coule. His parents never told him to practise. They couldn't stop him! Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756. He learnt to play the violin at the age of four. In his short life he wrote a tremendous⁵ amount of music. Everybody praised Mozart for his wonderful music, but nobody paid him any money. He got poorer and poorer and couldn't pay his bills. In the end he became ill and died. He was only 35 years old. He is one of the greatest musicians of all time.
