I've never heard about Mozart's fingers bleeding -- do you have a source? I just ran a web search and found a suggestion that he suffered from rickets in infancy, accounting for curved fingers.
- sotojuan 10y agoI've never heard of it either, but it's well known that Mozart both played a ton in his youth and actually worked hard when composing. Most people seem to think he was just sitting there and symphonies came to his head at random.
- CuriouslyC 10y agoIt was mentioned in a book I read about talent, which I believe sourced it from an old Mozart biography. Like many stories about legends, it could certainly be apocryphal.
