Probably the most naturally gifted musician the world has ever known, Mozart began his career early as a child prodigy. By the age of five, he was already proficient in the violin, the harpsichord, and piano keyboard. He had also begun composing music that had integrity. He was a showman as well, according to contemporary documents, and charmed many of the crowned heads of Europe with his performance and his manner.

  • Early years of prodigy
  • The grand tour 1763-66
  • Setbacks and success in Vienna
  • The solo trip to Italy
  • Salzburg to Vienna
  • Augsburg, Mannheim, Paris, and Munich
  • Munich and Idomeneo

And much more!
