The Enlightened Mozarts

     Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is known today as one of the greatest and most talented musicians and composers of all time. But did you know, that Mozart's father, Leopold Mozart, was the backbone of his child prodigy career. Leopold was a very talented musician himself and he raised mozart in such a way that once he discovered his son's musical gifts, he was very careful to create a balance between his son's music and academic life. While Mozart was making his debuts all over Europe, his father was constantly tutoring him and he could read in several different languages. He was constantly traveling and always playing for royalty; by doing this, his father hoped that his son's musical talents would catch someone's eye. Enough to help give Wolfgang a proper and full education, which was very expensive back then. Leopold Mozart was truly an amazing Dad. And we would not have some of the greatest compositions of music if it wasn't for him.
