It all started with Mozart. In fact, the day I was born - like Wolfgang Amadeus - on 27 January. When I was four years old, we were living in Rome at the time, I heard this melody in the stairwell that I couldn't get out of my head and therefore kept whistling to myself: it was from Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 1. I asked our neighbour, whose flat the ...

During his travels, Mozart often needed new pieces: in Mannheim, for example, he composed the Sonata in C major for the thirteen-year-old Rosa Cannabich, and later, in Linz, the Sonata in B flat, presumably as a concert piece for himself.
