Mozart once wrote: "Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together" make genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
He once defended people's misconception of his prodigy by saying, "People err who think my art comes easily to me." Indeed he worked hard. At the age of seven, his father took him on a three-year tour of Europe's royal court.
