Mozart - La finta semplice

Time: 1769

Place: Salzburg, Austria

Details: Leopold attempted to set his son up as an opera composer. He was working on a proposed order from Emperor Joseph II that the young boy should write an opera, rival musicians were not eager for a preteen composer to upstage himself. There were reports that the opera was a sham — that the work was really composed by Leopold, not Wolfgang. The premiere was repeatedly postponed. Finally, Leopold gave up and took his son back to Salzburg, and the opera, where the score was first performed the following year.
