Not THAT Mozart – this one:

Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart (1791-1844)

Franz_Xaver_Mozart_(Wolfgang_Jr)_1825

Franz “Wolfgang” was born in Vienna, five months before his father’s death, the younger of his parents’ two surviving children. He was a composer, pianist, conductor, and teacher from the late classical period whose musical style was of an early Romanticism, heavily influenced by his father’s mature style.
