Once there, the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wowed Emperor Franz I Stephan, Empress Maria Theresa and their children with his piano playing in the Hall of Mirrors at Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace. According to an anecdote, Mozart asked the court composer Wagenseil to help him turn over the sheet music while he played one of Wagenseil&#8217;s pieces. With his self-confidence and talent, Mozart took the heart of the court by storm.   <\/p>\n<p>Although Mozart mainly played the piano, he brought a violin with him from Vienna, which had been given to him as a gift. When a violinist friend asked Leopold Mozart for his opinion on some violin trios, Wolfgang insisted on playing the second violin, even though he had never had any lessons. To everyone&#8217;s surprise, he played the second violin flawlessly in all six trios. This incident demonstrated Mozart&#8217;s extraordinary musical talent and led to him also receiving violin lessons. Despite his self-confidence and strength of will, Mozart was an obedient child.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-933c478 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"933c478\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/viennatickets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/640px-Schloss_Schoenbrunn_Grosse_Galerie_1-2-qqsw239417a3neaugzqxd1ct16ksclkvwprtnkdh8o.jpg\" title=\"640px-Schloss_Sch\u00f6nbrunn_Grosse_Galerie_1-2\" alt=\"Spiegelsaal von Schloss Sch\u00f6nbrunn mit barocker Ausstattung und eleganten Kronleuchtern\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Hall of Mirrors at Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace, where Mozart played for Empress Maria Theresa<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98e4f31 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"98e4f31\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4f1ee6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f4f1ee6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mozart's European tour: triumphs, inspirations and musical growth<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a4c96 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"67a4c96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-634074b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"634074b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"response-container ng-tns-c2576962549-119 ng-star-inserted response-container-has-multiple-responses\">\n<div class=\"presented-response-container ng-tns-c2576962549-119\">\n<div class=\"response-container-content ng-tns-c2576962549-119\">\n<div class=\"response-content ng-tns-c2576962549-119\">\n<div class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"avatar-gutter ng-tns-c2117101687-146 ng-star-inserted\">\n<div class=\"resize-observable\">After their success in Vienna, the Mozart family embarked on a three-and-a-half-year tour of Europe. They performed at various courts and for aristocratic families, with Mozart showcasing both his piano skills and his singing voice. In Paris, they were received at the court of Versailles and Mozart dedicated two of his first works to daughters of the king. In London, he impressed the audience with his ability to play difficult pieces by Bach and Handel extemporaneously.     <br \/>In London, Mozart played for the English royal family and met Johann Christian Bach, whose musical style he admired and often imitated. During his stay in England, Mozart discovered Italian opera and symphonies and wrote six sonatas, which he dedicated to the Queen. The family returned to Salzburg after three and a half years and around 40 compositions, including Mozart&#8217;s first symphony, despite health challenges during the trip.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a22238 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5a22238\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/viennatickets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Mozart_Kind_cut-qqswajstjiv0520h2ne1swi5i0vpmj5x2l5557tx8o.jpg\" title=\"Mozart_Kind_cut\" alt=\"Portr\u00e4t des jungen Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart im Alter von 7 Jahren an einem Cembalo\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">A historical portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, showing him as a young musician<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eaba196 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eaba196\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1b6e31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e1b6e31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\nLeopold Mozart: From Augsburg Talent to Patron of the Prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffbc35e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ffbc35e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5634de9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5634de9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"response-container ng-tns-c2576962549-119 ng-star-inserted response-container-has-multiple-responses\">\n<div class=\"presented-response-container ng-tns-c2576962549-119\">\n<div class=\"response-container-content ng-tns-c2576962549-119\">\n<div class=\"response-content ng-tns-c2576962549-119\">\n<div class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"avatar-gutter ng-tns-c2117101687-96 ng-star-inserted\">\n<div class=\"resize-observable\">\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div id=\"ultimate-heading-2810668278a2e7e64\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-2810668278a2e7e64 uvc-1270 \" data-hspacer=\"line_only\" data-halign=\"left\">\n<div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\" data-ultimate-target=\".uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-2810668278a2e7e64 h2\" data-responsive-json-new=\"{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}\">\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:20\">After his first European tour, Mozart returned to Austria in 1767 and was commissioned by the Emperor to compose his first opera. He then traveled to Italy with his father to establish himself as a musician. He received his first opera contract in Milan and was taught counterpoint by Father Martini in Bologna. Their journey continued to Rome, where Mozart was knighted and wrote down the score of the Miserere after hearing it only once. After 15 months in Italy, they returned to Salzburg following the successful premiere of Mozart&#8217;s opera &#8220;Mitridate Re di Ponto&#8221; in Milan.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32fcc33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"32fcc33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc5c020 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"dc5c020\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d733bce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d733bce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mozart: child prodigy and musical genius - the early years<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-279d972 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"279d972\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"avatar-gutter ng-tns-c1260610816-111 ng-star-inserted\">\n<div class=\"resize-observable\">\n<div class=\"avatar-gutter ng-tns-c3219268500-81 ng-star-inserted\">\n<div class=\"resize-observable\">\n<div class=\"avatar-gutter ng-tns-c3219268500-111 ng-star-inserted\">\n<div class=\"resize-observable\">This first part of the article about Mozart\u2019s life focuses on his extraordinary childhood up to the age of 14. From an early age, Mozart displayed remarkable talent and experienced more than many people do in their entire lifetime. He was not only gifted but also obedient, confident, and humorous. The article hints that Mozart\u2019s later youth and adult life will be covered in the next part, where we will delve deeper into the mysteries of the Mozart Requiem, the masterpiece that accompanied him until his final breath.   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd933e8
