Fantasy in D minor, .

Soon a er overseeing performances of his opera
Idomeneo
in Munich during January
, Mo-
zart received a summons from the Archbishop
of Salzburg to join the court in Vienna for the
coronation of Emperor Joseph II. In March,
Mozart arrived in Vienna and almost immedi-
ately found himself at odds with the archbishop.
When tensions escalated, he petitioned for his
release from employment. A er much deliber-
ation, Mozart was granted his request and, ac-
cording to his own report, was sent o “with a
kick on my arse.”
e rst year in Vienna brought many devel-
opments in Mozart’s life, both professional and
personal, that were cause for great optimism. He
received an adequate salary from teaching les-
sons to Viennese amateurs. Public and private
performances, with Mozart appearing as pianist
and violinist, were plentiful. He gave such
concerts during the month of March
. His
Entführung aus dem Serail
(
Abduction from the
Seraglio
) was produced at the Court eater on
July , and, a few weeks later, Mozart married
Constanze Weber.
Mozart composed proli cally during this pe-
riod.
