Lesson 28
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The Mozarts moved to Ebury Street, where the blue plaque can be seen, for several weeks in the summer of 1764 after Leopold had fallen ill.

Barred from playing any musical instruments during his father's recuperation, Wolfgang amused himself with composition. His first symphony was one of the results and it was performed at one of the concerts the Mozarts undertook after Leopold recovered.

The Mozarts left London in July 1765, after fifteen months in the capital, and Wolfgang never returned.

In 1790, the year before his death, he was offered the opportunity to conduct a series of concerts in the city but he declined.
