Mozart - Piano Music

Leopold Mozart

Wolfgang's father (1719-1787) was the ultimate stage parent. Although Leopold had some small success as a composer, he knew right away that he was a mere trifle next to the towering genius who was his son. He knew that even his excellent and well-known violin treatise would be nothing once his son got going in the world. Setting the stage for "stage parents" for the rest of history, he took the boy with him on innumerable tours and exhibited him throughout Europe. Much of Leopold's stress in life was the profligate way his son "lived the high life," and the way he handled that stress has drive a wedge between two schools of thought in his biography: tyrannically merciless or sympathetically frustrated?
