12、n Empire. He was baptized the day after his birth at St. Rupert“s Cathedral. His father Leopold was from Augsburg. He was a minor composer, and an experienced teacher. In the year of Mozart“s birth, his father published a violin textbook, which achieved a great success. In the fourth year of his age
13、 his father, for a game as it were, began to teach him a few minutes and pieces at the clavier. He could play it faultlessly and with the greatest delicacy, and keeping exactly in time. At the age of five, he was already composing little pieces, which he played to his father who wrote them down. Whi
14、le Leopold was a devoted teacher to his children, there is evidence that Mozart was keen to progress beyond what he was taught. His first ink-spattered composition and his efforts with the violin were of his own initiative and came as a surprise to Leopold. Leopold eventually gave up composing when
15、his son“s outstanding musical talents became evident. He was Mozart“s only teacher in his earliest years and taught his children languages and academic subjects as well as music. During Mozart“s youth, his family made several European journeys in which he played at the Court in Munich, and at the Im
16、perial Court in Vienna. A long concert tour spanning three and a half years followed, taking the family to the courts of Munich, Paris, and London. During this trip, Mozart met a great number of musicians and acquainted himself with the works of other composers. These trips were often arduous. Trave
17、l conditions were primitive; the family had to wait for invitations and reimbursement from the nobility. They endured long, near-fatal illnesses far from home. After one year father and son set off for Italy, leaving his mother and his sister at home. This travel lasted from December 1769 to March 1
18、771. As with earlier journeys, Leopold wanted to display his son“s abilities as a performer and a rapidly maturing composer. After finally returning with his father from Italy on 13 March 1773, Mozart was em-ployed as a court musician by the ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Col-loredo
19、. The composer had a great number of friends and admirers in Salzburg. Despite these artistic successes, Mozart grew increasingly discontented with Salzburg and redoubled his efforts to find a position elsewhere. One reason was his low salary. In August 1777, Mozart resigned his Salzburg position an
20、d, on 23 September, ventured out once more in search of employment, with visits to Augsburg, Mannheim, Paris, and Munich. Since Archbishop Colloredo would not give Leopold leave to travel, Mozart“s mother Anna Maria accompanied him. Mozart became acquainted with members of the famous orchestra in Ma
21、nnheim, the best in Europe at the time. He also fell in love with Aloysia Weber, one of four daughters in a musical family. There were prospects of employment in Mannheim, but they came to nothing and Mozart left for Paris on 14 March 1778 to continue his search. One of his letters from Paris hints
22、at a possible post as an organist at Versailles, but Mozart was not interested in such an appointment. Mozart“s new career in Vienna began well. He performed often as a pianist, notably in a competition before the Emperor on 24 December 1781, and he soon “had established himself as the finest keyboa

27、the best pianistC.the best composerD.the best organistThe Mona Lisa painting now hangs in the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The painting“s increasing fame was further emphasized when it was stolen on 21 August 1911. The next day, Louis Beroud, a painter, walked into the Louvre and went to the Salon Carr
28、e where the Mona Lisa had been on display for five years. However, where the Mona Lisa should have stood, he found four iron pegs. Beroud contacted the section head of the guards, who thought the painting was being photographed for marketing purposes. A few hours later, Beroud checked back with the
29、section head of the museum, and it was confirmed that the Mona Lisa was not with the photographers. The Louvre was closed for an entire week to aid in investigation of the theft. French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who had once called for the Louvre to be “burnt down,“ came under suspicion; he was ar
30、rested and put in jail. Apollinaire tried to implicate his friend Pablo Picasso, who was also brought in for questioning, but both were later exonerated. At the time, the painting was believed to be lost forever, and it was two years before the real thief was discovered. Louvre employee Vincenzo Per
31、uggia had stolen it by entering the building during regular hours, hiding in a broom closet and walking out with it hidden under his coat after the museum had closed. Peruggia was an Italian patriot who believed Leonardo“s painting should be returned to Italy for display in an Italian museum. Perugg
32、ia may have also been motivated by a friend who sold copies of the painting, which would skyrocket in value after the theft of the original. After having kept the painting in his apartment for two years, Peruggia grew impatient and was finally caught when he attempted to sell it to the directors of
33、the Uffizi Gallery in Florence; it was exhibited all over Italy and returned to the Louvre in 1913. Peruggia was hailed for his patriotism in Italy and only served six months in jail for the crime. During World War II , the painting was again removed from the Louvre and taken safely, first to Chatea
34、u d“Amboise, then to the Loc Dieu Abbey and Chateau de Chambo-rd, then finally to the Ingres Museum in Montauban. In 1956, the lower part of the painting was severely damaged when a vandal doused the painting with acid. On 30 December of that same year, a young Bolivian named Ugo Ungaza Villegas dam
35、aged the painting by throwing a rock at it. This resulted in the loss of a speck of pigment near the left elbow, which was later painted over. The use of bulletproof glass has shielded the Mona Lisa from more recent attacks. In April 1974, a handicapped woman, upset by the museum“s policy for the di
36、sabled, sprayed red paint at the painting while it was on display at the Tokyo National Museum. On 2 August 2009, a Russian woman, distraught over being denied French citizenship, threw a terra cotta mug or teacup, purchased at the museum, at the painting in the Louvre; the vessel shattered against
37、the glass enclosure. In both cases, the painting was undamaged.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, on 21 August 1911 the Mona Lisa painting was stolen by_.（分数：2.00）A.the section head of the guardB.French poet Guillaume ApollinaireC.Pablo PicassoD.a Louvre employee called Vincenzo Peruggia(2).The
