At the age of 21, Mozart was convinced that the life of a provincial court musician was not for him. But after he resigned his post in Salzburg, his first journey to find another job was a complete failure. His father, at great cost to his own pride, managed to persuade the Prince Archbishop to take the young Mozart back, but the arrangement was not to last.
