Leopold Mozart rose to occupy the position of  Vice-Kapellmeister to the Archbishop of Salzburg,  but sacrificed his own creative career to that of his son, in whom he detected  early signs of precocious genius. With the indulgence of his patron, he was  able to undertake extended concert tours of Europe  in which his son and elder daughter Nannerl were able to astonish audiences.  The boy played both the keyboard and the violin and could improvise and soon  write down his own compositions.  Childhood that had brought Mozart signal success was  followed by a less satisfactory period of adolescence largely in Salzburg under the  patronage of a new and less sympathetic Archbishop. Like his father, Mozart  found opportunities far too limited at home, while chances of travel were now  restricted. In 1777, when leave of absence was not granted, he gave up  employment in Salzburg to seek a future  elsewhere, but neither Mannheim nor Paris, both musical  centres of some importance, had anything for him. His Mannheim  connections, however, brought a commission for an opera in Munich  in 1781, but after its successful staging he was summoned by his patron to Vienna. There Mozart's dissatisfaction  with his position resulted in a quarrel with the Archbishop and dismissal from  his service.  The last ten years of Mozart's life were spent in Vienna in precarious  independence of both patron and immediate paternal advice, a situation  aggravated by an imprudent marriage. Initial success in the opera-house and as  a performer was followed, as the decade went on, by increasing financial  difficulties. By the time of his death in December 1791, however, his fortunes  seemed about to change for the better, with the success of the German opera The  Magic Flute, and the possibility of increased patronage.  In April 1764 Leopold Mozart, his wife, and his two children,  reached England  after a channel crossing that had made them sea-sick and that had proved  expensive for the family, and their two servants. A detailed account of this,  the young Mozart's third journey, is found in Leopold Mozart's letters home to  his Salzburg  landlord, Lorenz Hagenauer. From these we hear of their reception at court, soon  after their arrival in London,  and shortly afterwards a second visit to the court, where Wolfgang astonished the  King by his sight-reading and accompanied the Queen in an aria, and also  accompanied a flautist. In his letter of 28 May to Hagenauer Leopold Mozart  tells him that while he is writing his son is playing through sonatas by their  friend Johann Christian Bach, the London Bach, youngest son of Johann  Sebastian, whose sonatas for keyboard with the accompaniment of a violin or  flute and a cello had been publi\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenuetto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenuetto Primo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenuetto Secondo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenuetto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenuetto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro Grazioso\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55148286116225,"sku":"762961","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41pFEAlJ3TL._SL1500_158b6225-7c46-4f8b-93ff-b128b71a2cf9.jpg?v=1767819773","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/762961-1","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
