How many instruments did Mozart play?

ok... but piano, celeste, clavichord and harpsichord are basiclly the same thing. he was also a very talented violist, which is different enough from a violin for it to count.  also, a fun fact... he HATED the flute.  but he loved the clarinet.

I'd nominate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (brilliant performer, began composing at early age, left a huge volume music when he died early) or Johann Sebastian Bach (inventor or at least early practitioner of the well-tempered scales which allow transposition into any scale without getting dissonances, as well as a very productive componist). Modern music still borrows from them.

In response to the previous answer he most certainly did -- 22 by two different wives!  \n\nThe ones that are well known and became composers in their own rights are Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl (or Karl) Philip Emmanuel, Johann Christian (Mozart's mentor) and Johann Christoph Friederich.  If you go to Google images you should be able to find pix of these guys by entering their names.

December 5, 1791\n\nFinal illness and death\n \nMozart's final illness and death are difficult topics for scholarship, obscured by romantic legends and replete with conflicting theories. Scholars disagree about the course of decline in Mozart's health – particularly at what point Mozart became aware of his impending death and whether this awareness influenced his final works. The romantic view holds that Mozart declined gradually and that his outlook and compositions paralleled this decline. In opposition to this, some present-day scholarship points out correspondence from Mozart's final year indicating that he was in good cheer, as well as evidence that Mozart's death was sudden and a shock to his family and friends. Mozart's last words: "The taste of death is upon my lips...I feel something not of this earth". The actual cause of Mozart's death is also a matter of conjecture. His death record listed "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever," referring to a rash that looks like millet-seeds), a description that does not suffice to identify the cause as it would be diagnosed in modern medicine. Dozens of theories have been proposed, including trichinosis, mercury poisoning, and rheumatic fever. The practice, common at that time, of bleeding medical patients is also cited as a contributing cause.\n\nMozart died around 1 a.m. on December 5, 1791 in Vienna. Some days earlier, with the onset of his illness, he had largely ceased work on his final composition, the Requiem. Legend has it that Mozart was thinking of his own impending death while writing this piece, and even that a messenger from the afterworld commissioned it. However, documentary evidence has established that the anonymous commission came from one Count Franz von Walsegg, and that most if not all of the music had been written while Mozart was still in good health. A younger composer, and Mozart's pupil at the time, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, was engaged by Constanze to complete the Requiem. However, he was not the first composer asked to finish the Requiem, as the widow had first approached another Mozart student, Joseph Eybler, who began work directly on the empty staves of Mozart's manuscript but then abandoned it.\n\nBecause he was buried in an unmarked grave, but not a mass grave, it has been popularly assumed that Mozart was penniless and forgotten when he died. In fact, though he was no longer as fashionable in Vienna as before, he continued to have a well-paid job at court and receive substantial commissions from more distant parts of Europe, Prague in particular [citation needed]. He earned about 10,000 florins per year[4], equivalent to at least 42,000 US dollars in 2006, which places him within the top 5 percent of late 18th century wage earners[4], but he could not manage his own wealth. His mother wrote, "When Wolfgang makes new acquaintances, he immediately wants to give his life and property to them." His impulsive largesse and spending often put him in the position of having to ask others for loans. Many of his begging letters survive but they are evidence not so much of poverty as of his habit of spending more than he earned. He was not buried in a "mass grave" but in a regular communal grave according to the 1784 laws.\n\nThough the original grave in the St. Marx cemetery was lost, memorial gravestones (or cenotaphs) have been placed there and in the Zentralfriedhof. In 2005, new DNA testing was performed by Austria's University of Innsbruck and the US Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory in Rockville, Maryland, to determine if a skull in an Austrian Museum was actually his, using DNA samples from the marked graves of his grandmother and Mozart's niece. However, test results were inconclusive, suggesting that none of the DNA samples were related to each other.\n\nIn 1809, Constanze married Danish diplomat Georg Nikolaus von Nissen (1761–1826). Bein

Let's take a look at the word 'polyphony'.\n\nPoly = many/multiple/more than one\nPhony = sounds.\n\nVersus the word 'monophony' (which is pronounced really weird if I recall correctly, muh-NAH-fu-nee), where\n\nmono = one\nPhony = sound.\n\nI'm gonna take a guess and say thay that Tchaikovsky stuck mostly with polyphonic works. I dunno about you, but I can hear more than one thing going on at a time in most of his pieces.

1.  Mozart lived in a lot of cities, but Vienna is where he did his best work.  I also believe this was the setting for the movie.\n\n2.  Constantine (Stanzie) is what he called his wife in the movie.\n\n3.  Don't remember.\n\n4.  He played lots of instruments, in the movie he played piano and harpsichord.\n\n5.  Too many notes...hmmm....don't remember.\n\nGreat movie- even greater composer.

I don't think so...I've never heard that before. Beethoven played for Mozart in his teens, you would think Mozart would've played for him as well. I've studied Beethoven quite a bit, and am not familiar with that theory.\n\nEveryone should know he went deaf in adulthood, and he did listen to quite a bit of music while he was able.

From Wikipedia;\n\n"The scoring of the symphony differs by movement. For the more lyrical first, second, and final movements, Beethoven specified a fairly small Classical orchestra: two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two French horns, and a string section consisting of the usual first and second violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. For the third movement, these players are joined by two trumpets, and to increase the effectiveness of the storm, Beethoven adds the trumpets, two trombones, timpani, and a piccolo."

I used BibleGateway.com and did a Keyword search for "music" - I got 106 hits from the entire Bible (New International Version), some of which named more than one instrument.  For example, 1 Chronicles 15:16 names lyres, harps and cymbals.\n\nIt might be useful for you to play around with.

A pedal/concert harp has 46 or 47 strings.  Fork and lever harps have anywhere from 19 to 40 strings.  Early forms of the harp only had about ten strings.  These are the normal numbers, but it depends on the harp.
