adagio di Mozart (1756-1791)

Italian to English Art/Literary Music
In English I have to turn this around to be Mozart's adagio. My question is - I'm not sure where to place the 's. I had Mozart's (1756-1791) adagio. But then I thought maybe Mozart(1756-1791)'s adagio. There must be an accepted way to do it? Many thanks.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +11 adagio by Mozart (1756-1791)
5 +1 Mozart's adagio
3 +2 Mozart's (1756-1791) adagio

Vittorina Klingbeil The dates cannot be omitted in the text - they have to stay in that position ..

For the sake of good appearance, and in response to JenK's peer comment below, we should have:
Adagio by Mozart (1756-1791)
Peer comment(s):

agree BrigitteHilgner : If the information about the year of his birth/death is really needed, I consider this the most elegant solution.

Grazie!
agree Kimberly Wastler : Definitely. The adagio was written by him, and this best reflects this, and keeps his birty/death dates seperate, but still there.

Grazie!
agree JenK : Adagio should have a capital letter as it's the name of the piece (as opposed to a musical direction in a piece)

Mozart's (1756-1791) adagio

I'd go for Mozart's (1756-1791) adagio.

Mozart(1756-1791)'s adagio is not correct, I think.
Peer comment(s):

agree Angie Garbarino : yes, no translation for adagio, arpeggio, pizzicato, stay in Italian

Mozart's adagio
