I'm confusing about past simple and present simple
my book says 'we use the present simple to talk about something is true in general'. So why not say:
'Mozart is an Austrian musician and comoposer' instead of 'Mozart was an Austrian musician and composer'

Because Mozart is dead, so we have to use past tense.

Yes, for finished time (such as if someone is already dead) we would use the past simple. If Mozart was still alive we could say "Mozart is an Austrian musician and composer."
Also you should say "I'm confused about..." not "I'm confusing about."
Hope that helps!

Mozart isn't a musician right now.
