Description
Le prestige de Mozart nous a rendu souvent bien injuste envers Léopold Mozart, car ce compositeur plus qu1estimable “ne vit au souvenir de la postérité que pour avoir été le père de son fils”, comme l’écrivait Alfred Einstein. Né à Augsbourg le 14 novembre 1719, ce fils aîné d’un artisan relieur, d’abord promis semble-t-il à la carrière ecclésiastique, étudia le droit et la “sagesse humaine”, c1est-à-dire la philosophie, tout en consacrant une partie de ses activités à la musique. Installé à Salzbourg, il entra comme valet de chambre violoniste chez le comte von Thurn und Taxis, puis rejoignit la cour du prince archevêque où il gravit les échelons jusqu’à sa nomination en 1763 au poste de vice-maître de chapelle…
The prestige of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was such that we tend to be somewhat unfair on his father, Leopold Mozart, who was nevertheless a fine musician. The latter is generally remembered, above all, as the father of his son. Leopold Mozart was barn on 14 November 1719, the son of an Augsburg bookbinder. His father died in 1736 and he was apparently directed towards a clerical career by his teachers and patrons. In 1737 he enrolled at the Benedictine University in Salzbourg, where he studied philosophy and jurisprudence while devoting much of his time to music. He became a valet and musician (violinist) to Johann Baptist, Count of Thurn-Valsassina and Taxis, then obtained a post as fourth violinist in the court orchestra of the prince-archbishop (1743). At court he moved up the scale until he was appointed deputy Kapellmeister in 1763, by which time he was happily married to Arma Maria Pertl.
