Following a recent visit to Salzburg, I learnt that Mozart was not entirely happy with his musical relationship with this city; he left and went to work in Vienna.
Following his death, he was forgotten about by the city until the railway from Munich was built in the mid- nineteenth century. This enabled tourists from all over Europe to travel to Salzburg. The reason they went there was to follow the “Mozart Trail”. Thus, the memory of Mozart was revived to enable a flourishing tourist business totally ripe for commercial exploitation to develop, something that is still booming today; this explains why everything in this city is so expensive!
You may well ask the question why the museums of Mozart’s birthplace and Leopold’s House make so much more money out of not fully playing Mozart’s music when professional orchestral players of Mozart’s music do not make so much money by public performance of it!
