Turning a financial opportunity

Part of storyMozartView in story ›

Time: 1789

Place: Berlin, Germany

Details: Friedrich Wilhelm II offered him the post of chief Kapellmeister in Berlin, on a salary that could almost certainly have put an end to his financial issues. The response Mozart gave was to turn it down. He wrote to a friend, saying: "I do like Vienna… the Emperor is good to me and I’m not particularly bothered about money".

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
