Get to know Leopold Mozart: The Father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Leopold Mozart (1719-1787) was a well-rounded German composer, music conductor, violinist and teacher. His passion and dedication to music had greatly influenced his son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In fact, Wolfgang's creations loomed largely over Leopold’s work. 

Leopold's skills as an organist and violinist were already prominent at a young age. He was a naturally gifted singer, actor and his enthusiasm and enigmatic personality transcended as well being a teacher and a composer which added to his growing reputation. 

Leopold's body of works are quite extensive and became famous although a lot of his works were lost, some critics agreed that the real significance of his work and brilliant technical methods can be traced back through his musical essays.
