Lesson 27
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart


Mozart was brought to London as a child of eight in the spring of 1764, together with his sister Nannerl, to impress English audiences with the same feats of precocious musical genius that had already created a stir on the Continent.

London music lovers were suitably impressed and a report on Wolfgang's remarkable abilities was presented to the Royal Society.

The young Wolfgang also appeared three times at court where he easily mastered the keyboard exercises King George III had devised for him.
