Move to the Tanzmeisterhaus
Move
In the fall of 1773 the Mozart family moves from the Hagenauerhaus at Salzburg's Getreidegasse to a larger apartment at the so-called Tanzmeisterhaus at Hannibalplatz (today's Marktplatz). The apartment is spacious enough for concerts in the family's large circle of friends.
Opera Commissioned for Munich
In the fall of 1774 Mozart composes the opera buffa "La finta giardiniera" (K196) commissioned by the Bavarian Elector Maximilian III on the occasion of Munich's carnival. The work is premiered in Munich on January 13, 1775 under Mozart's baton; however, it was performed only twice more.
More Commissions
Mozart becomes more and more famous in Salzburg as well. Musical works were commissioned by Josef Nepomuk Graf Lodron ("Lodron'sche Nachtmusiken", K247 and 287) and Sigmund Haffner ("Haffner-Serenade" K250).
Dismissal from court services
Leopold Mozart plans another concert tour with Wolfgang to Western Europe.
However, they are not granted leave from court services. Wolfgang hands in a written application with Elector Colloredo requesting his and his father's dismissal. Wolfgang is actually granted his request for dismissal; his father's employment was only able to be saved with great difficulty.
