Leopold Mozart's Musical Sleigh Ride

Classical Music / Leopold Mozart / Dances / Musical Sleigh Ride 


Leopold Mozart, like his famous son Wolfgang Amadeus, also composed his own Musikalische Schlittenfahrt (Musical Sleigh Ride)


The musical works of Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang's father, a great violinist and composer himself, is inevitably overshadowed by the work of his endeared son. Leopold Mozart willingly sacrificed his own career to promote Wolfgang's.  Like Wolfgang Amadeus, Leopold also composed his own musical sleigh ride, a Divertimento in F Major, considered popular enough.

Other works of Leopold Mozart that have survived include: The Toy Symphony, a trumpet concerto, and a number of symphonies.
