What pastime did Mozart enjoy besides music?
Billiards “Mozart had one huge hobby: billiards. He’d sometimes play all night and was known to have composed a symphony during a game. In 1786, the 30-year-old composer wrote a substantial chamber work that’s still identified with his pastime: the “Kegelstatt” (billiards) Trio for Piano, Clarinet and Viola in E-flat.” http://www.newsobserver.com/697/story/39… He seems to have like ‘bowls’, too. “His favourite amusements were bowls and billiards.” http://www.music-with-ease.com/mozart.ht… Some other noted Mozart Hobbies “Mozart loved games of all sorts. He knew many card tricks and his other interests included billiards, bowling, charades, fencing, and horseback riding. He liked to keep dogs, cats, and birds as pets.” http://www.artsalive.ca/en/mus/
