But a substantial, festal mass setting (probably K 139/47a) was successfully given before the court at the dedication of the Orphanage Church. Greater hopes were attached to his prospect of having an Italian opera buffa, La finta semplice (“The Feigned Simpleton”), done at the court theatre-hopes that were, however, frustrated, much to Leopold’s indignation. Mozart wrote a one-act German singspiel, Bastien und Bastienne, which was given privately. You may be familiar with his first six string quartets, but is it true that Ludwig van Beethoven was married six times? Lift the curtain on the facts and personal lives of Beethoven, Bach, and other composers.Īfter little more than nine months in Salzburg the Mozarts set out for Vienna in September 1767, where (apart from a 10-week break during a smallpox epidemic) they spent 15 months. Two more followed during a stay in The Hague on the return journey (K 22 and K 45a). In Paris they met several German composers, and Mozart’s first music was published (sonatas for keyboard and violin, dedicated to a royal princess) in London they met, among others, Johann Christian Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach’s youngest son and a leading figure in the city’s musical life, and under his influence Mozart composed his first symphonies-three survive (K 16, K 19, and K 19a-K signifying the work’s place in the catalog of Ludwig von Köchel). Leopold’s surviving letters to friends in Salzburg tell of the universal admiration that his son’s achievements aroused. In most of these cities Mozart, and often his sister, played and improvised, sometimes at court, sometimes in public or in a church. They went to what were all the main musical centres of western Europe-Munich, Augsburg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Mainz, Frankfurt, Brussels, and Paris (where they remained for the winter), then London (where they spent 15 months), returning through The Hague, Amsterdam, Paris, Lyon, and Switzerland, and arriving back in Salzburg in November 1766. In mid-1763 he obtained a leave of absence from his position as deputy Kapellmeister at the prince-archbishop’s court at Salzburg, and the family set out on a prolonged tour. “The miracle which God let be born in Salzburg” was Leopold’s description of his son, and he was keenly conscious of his duty to God, as he saw it, to draw the miracle to the notice of the world (and incidentally to profit from doing so).
