Mozart Snapshot #5: Mozart and the Diary of a Family Friend

There are few correspondences to give us a record of what was going on in Wolfgang’s life when the whole family was together at home in Salzburg. Fortunately Joachim Ferdinand von Schiedenhofen, a close family friend with a castle in the Bavarian countryside, kept a diary in which he gives us some clues about the Mozarts‘ activities at home. In this episode, Katie takes us on an excursion to Schloss Triebenbach, the idyllic home of the Schiedenhofens, where the Mozarts regularly came to make music, play Bölzlschiessen and enjoy good times with friends.

About Mozart Snapshots:

Each and everyone of us is shaped by the place where we spend our earliest years. Mozart was no exception. One of the first true cosmopolites of classical music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a native of the picturesque alpine city of Salzburg, Austria. In this new series, I will explore Mozart's relationship to his home town through fun-filled conversations, insightful interviews and once-in-a-lifetime visits to interesting locations in Salzburg that have a special connection to Mozart and his family, then and now.
