Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) is considered one of the three giants of musical composition along with Bach and Beethoven . Child prodigy born in Salzburg (Austria), at the age of six he mastered the keyboard and violin and began to compose. His father, Leopold, exhibited him on exhausting tours of different European courts. Prolific composer (more than 600 works written from the time he was five years old until his death) he cultivated all types of musical genres: piano works, chamber music, symphonies, concert works, choral works, operas... each and every one of them, masterpieces of its gender.

The Sonata was originally a composition written to be played or "sounded" by one or more musical instruments, as the cantata was to be "sung" by one or more voices. Beginning with classicism (1750-1810), its definition adjusts to a work generally articulated in three movements (fast-slow-fast) and sometimes four, with or without a short introduction. It should not be confused with the sonata form , which is a compositional model that consists of three sections without interruption: a) exposition of the two main and contrasting themes, b) development of both themes, c) reexposition or recapitulation. Sonata form is typically applied to the first movements of sonatas, quartets, symphonies, and concertos .

The Concerto is a musical form written for one or more solo instruments accompanied by an instrumental ensemble. It was Vivaldi who established the fundamental bases of its structure with three movements ( I fast-II slow-III fast ) and presented as a dialogue between the soloists and the instrumental ensemble. Starting from classicism , especially from the bases created by CPE Bach , the first movement is built following the patterns of the sonata form, while the second and third movements are built under various free and specific forms. Frequently, at the end of the first and/or third movement, the soloists have a cadence , often expressly written by the author with motifs from the same movement, with which they can show off their virtuosity.

Swan Lake , Tchaikovsky 's first ballet, is a fairy tale-ballet structured in four acts; It was commissioned by the Bolshoi Theater and premiered in 1877.

The plot is about a love story between Prince Siegfried and Princess Odette against whom the evil wizard Rothbart will use his perfidious tricks that will have to be saved by the Prince .
