Mozart

Composing his first two symphonies

Sunday Aug 5, 1764
180 Ebury Street, London, United Kingdom

Leopold moved his family to recover from a chill and sore throat caught at an open-air concert at the house of the Earl of Thanet in Grosvenor Square, here on 5 August 1764. A blue plaque commemorates their stay. Mozart wrote his first two symphonies, K16 and K19, to keep himself busy.
