Question: While both were born in the 18th century, which composer was born first: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or Giacomo Meyerbeer?

Context paragraphs:
Alte Mozart-Ausgabe: The Alte Mozart-Ausgabe is the name by which the first complete edition of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is known nowadays, published by Breitkopf & Härtel from January 1877 to December 1883, with supplements published until 1910.  The name "Alte Mozart-Ausgabe" (abbreviated "AMA") is actually a modern invention to distinguish the edition from the second Mozart complete works edition, the "Neue Mozart-Ausgabe"; the publication title of Breitkopf & Härtel's edition was "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts Werke.  Kritisch durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe."  (It is therefore sometimes referred to as the ""Mozart Gesammtausgabe"".)

Symphony No. 11 (Mozart): Symphony No. 11 in D major, K. 84/73q, was at one time considered unquestionably to be the work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  Its status has, however, been challenged, and (as of 2008) remains uncertain.  It is believed to date from 1770, and may have been written in Milan or Bologna, if it is a genuine Mozart work.  An early manuscript from Vienna attributes the work to Wolfgang, but nineteenth century copies of the score attribute it respectively to Leopold Mozart and to Carl Dittersdorf.  Neal Zaslaw writes: "A comparison of the results of two stylistic analyses of the work's first movement with analyses of unquestionably genuine first movements of the period by the three composers suggests that Wolfgang is the most likely of the three to have been the composer of K73q".

Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart: Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart (26 July 1791 – 29 July 1844), also known as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jr., was the youngest child of six born to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his wife Constanze.  He was 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.

Violin Sonata in D major (attributed to Mozart): The Violin Sonata in D major, K. deest, is a composition for violin and piano (or harpsichord) published in England during the 18th Century under the name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  It is typical of many such works intended for use by amateur musicians in a domestic setting, with the attribution to a well known composer being used to boost sales.  As with Mozart's earliest violin sonatas, the keyboard instrument is dominant.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ( ; ; ] ; 27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), baptised as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era.

List of symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: This is a list of symphonies by the classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  Symphonies No.  2 (attributed to Leopold Mozart) and 3 (written by Carl Friedrich Abel) are spurious.  Spurious symphonies can be found at Mozart symphonies of spurious or doubtful authenticity.  Symphonies that are suspected to be not Mozart's, but have not been proven to be the work of another composer, are in this list.  Mozart's "37th symphony" is actually Michael Haydn's 25th symphony; Mozart only added a 20-bar slow introduction to it.

Giacomo Meyerbeer: Giacomo Meyerbeer (born Jacob Liebmann Beer; 5 September 1791 – 2 May 1864) was a German opera composer of Jewish birth who has been described as perhaps the most successful stage composer of the nineteenth century.  With his 1831 opera "Robert le diable" and its successors, he gave the genre of grand opera 'decisive character'.  Meyerbeer's grand opera style was achieved by his merging of German orchestra style with Italian vocal tradition.  These were employed in the context of sensational and melodramatic libretti created by Eugène Scribe and were enhanced by the up-to-date theatre technology of the Paris Opéra.  They set a standard which helped to maintain Paris as the opera capital of the nineteenth century.

Johann Nepomuk Beck: Johann Nepomuk Beck (5 May 1827 – 9 April 1904) was a Hungarian operatic baritone.  He possessed a flexible and strong voice that was particularly suited to the French and Italian operatic repertoire.  Beginning in 1853, he sang for more than thirty years at the Hofoper (now the Vienna State Opera), particularly excelling in works by Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Giuseppe Verdi.  He notably portrayed the role of King Solomon in the world première of Karl Goldmark’s "Die Königin von Saba" in 1875.

Amadeus (film): Amadeus is a 1984 American period drama film directed by Miloš Forman, adapted by Peter Shaffer from his stage play "Amadeus".  The story, set in Vienna, Austria, during the latter half of the 18th century, is a fictionalized biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.  Mozart's music is heard extensively in the soundtrack of the movie.  The film follows Italian composer Antonio Salieri at the court of Emperor Joseph II, and his jealous vendetta against his younger rival, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Josef Mysliveček: Josef Mysliveček (9 March 1737 – 4 February 1781) was a Czech composer who contributed to the formation of late eighteenth-century classicism in music.  Mysliveček provided his younger friend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with significant compositional models in the genres of symphony, Italian serious opera, and violin concerto; both Wolfgang and his father Leopold Mozart considered him an intimate friend from the time of their first meetings in Bologna in 1770 until he betrayed their trust over the promise of an operatic commission for Wolfgang to be arranged with the management of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples.  He was close to the Mozart family, and there are frequent references to him in the Mozart correspondence.
