Born otd 1809 Felix Mendelssohn: surely the greatest teenage composer of all time - & greater still as his art matured. Also, magnificent pianist, conductor, organist; major educationalist and scholar; fine violist- & talented artist. (And my 18th cousin many times removed - ha!)
Replying to @StevenIsserlis
Schubert was pretty good, too. Oh, and here's an interesting detail for you: Mendelssohn was the brother-in-law of Peter Gustav LeJeune Dirichlet, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 19th century.
