The authors of the monument are sculptor Victor Tilgner and architect Karl Koenig. The sculpture and pedestal are made of white Laaser marble with bronze details. The front face of the pedestal is made in the form of a piano keyboard. Below it is a bas-relief with scenes from the opera Don Juan. On the back of the pedestal is a bas-relief depicting six-year-old Mozart on an instrument, his father and sister (drawn by artist Louis Carrogis de Carmonteles). The monument was erected on Albertinaplatz and inaugurated on April 21.

The Viennese monument to Mozart has a complicated history - 77 years have passed from the laying of the foundation to its grand opening. There was also a scandal with the project of the monument, when Edmund Helmer (the author of the "Golden Strauss") won the competition, and they commissioned the creation of a monument to Viktor Tilgner. The monument is made in the baroque style of white marble. Mozart himself is depicted casually leaning on the score, and on the pedestal you can see scenes from operas by his authorship.
