One of them he dedicated to the second daughter of the king, Madame Victoire, the other to the Countess Teffé. It was also there where Mozart completed his first real works. They were treated very well in Versailles, one can almost say that they were courted at the court. Every time there was thunderous applause.įinally in November they reached Paris and of course there was a concert shortly afterwards at the court of Versailles, in front of Louis XV and Madame Pompadour. ![]() It was not uncommon for Mozart to sing something vocal. Either they gave musical academies or concerts for the great noble families. Then followed Augsburg, Mannheim, Mainz, Frankfurt, Koblenz, Cologne, Aachen and Brussels to name only the larger stations. They left in June 1763 and the first station was the electoral court in Munich, where Mozart performed a concert on the violin. It should take three and a half years to return to Salzburg. It was clear that from that day he was now also instructed in playing the violin.ĭespite his direct and partly self-confident nature, Mozart was a very obedient child.Īfter the huge success in Vienna, the father Leopold organized a tour through Europe, which the whole Mozart family was to embark on. That did not work so well, but still better than some after a long time of study. Of course, Mozart then became cocky and wanted to play the first violin. And the little genius played the second violin so well in all six trios that his father got wet eyes with pride. But the little boy – confidently as he was – replied that one probably did not have to learn the violin to play the second violin. ![]() The father initially refused, as Wolferl allegedly hadn’t had any violin lesson so far. Now he wanted to play the pieces, and asked Mozart to play the second violin. He had his own written pieces, violin trios and wanted to the opinion of Leopold Mozart.

In the biography of Mozart, which was one of the main sources for this article, you can find the following anecdote: Whichever piece it really was, the fact is that Mozart was about only 5 years old, and that’s why the first music tours were not long in coming. But this should not have been created until 1764. Some believe that his first piece was the minuet in G major with a minuet C major as trio KV 1. And that diligent practice is required anyway …įrom 1761 the first smaller compositions of Mozart were recorded by his father, an Andante and an Allegro.

In between, however, hid a correctly set piece with the notes. ![]() But it quickly came out that little Mozart was not skillful with pen and ink, hence the many blots.

In all, he made amazing giant steps, sucking everything up and mastering things in an instant, sometimes even on the fly.Ī nice anecdote, or rather an eyewitness account, reported by Mozart’s biographer is the following: The composing and the violin came almost by itself, but we’ll get into that later in more detail. Soon after, Leopold’s father began to teach him pieces on the piano. It is also said that he always liked to sing. Mozart was evidently a very lively child with a lively temperament and always ready for jokes and plays. He often talked to the piano for a long time, looking at the thirds, which he then always voiced, and showed his joy in finding the harmony. The boy already showed his extraordinary talent. But meanwhile, the talent of the barely 4-year-old brother had already been revealed. Nannerl was seven years old when Leopold began teaching her the piano.
