Mozart in Vienna

The documentary Mozart in Vienna explores how the composer took charge of his own works by becoming the first freelance composer. After trips to Salzburg and Paris, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s career flourished in Vienna. Upon completing the opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail in 1782, he performed regularly as a pianist, and thrived as a composer. The opera was performed throughout German-speaking Europe, helping Mozart become an established and financially prosperous composer. After Mozart befriended Joseph Haydn in Vienna in 1784, he dedicated his six string quartets to the latter, who by then had already composed a great number of string quartets. We are fortunate to be able to still enjoy the great works Mozart composed during his days in Vienna.
