During his early twenties Mozart was desperate to make his name. He travelled widely in Europe, retracing the steps he had taken as a child prodigy. But whereas a precocious child found it easyto amuse the rich and influential, a young man had more difficulty attractingthe attention of potential patrons. Today Donald Macleod follows Mozartto Paris, Munich and back home to Salzburg.
