Mozart's birthplace

Mozart's birthplace (German: Mozarts Geburtshaus or Hagenauerhaus) is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at No. 9 Getreidegasse in Salzburg, Austria. The Mozart family resided on the third floor from 1747 to 1773. Mozart himself was born here on 27 January 1756.^[1] He was the seventh child of Leopold Mozart, who was a musician of the Salzburg Royal Chamber.^[2]

Since 1880 the building has housed a museum that depicts the early life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, his first musical instruments, his friends, and his passionate interest in opera. The third floor exhibits Mozart's childhood violin as well as portraits, documents, and early editions of his music, and the second floor is devoted to Mozart's interest in opera and includes the clavichord on which he composed The Magic Flute. The structure is owned by the Mozart Foundation.^[3]
