Composer of the Week

Mozart the Keyboard Player

Part Three

Nothing lasts for ever, not even for Mozart. As 1784 turned to 1785, and as his astonishingly successful year of subscription concerts faded into the memory, Mozart's career took what the Viennese public saw as a couple of faltering steps. Donald Macleod weighs up the evidence.
