At the age of 17 Mozart was engaged as a court musician
in Salzburg, but was dissatisfied with his position,
and traveled to find to find better work. Ultimately he
was dismissed from his Salzburg position while visiting
the Austrian capital Vienna. In this city he achieved
much fame, but little financial security. His total
output consists of over 600 works, many of which are
regarded as the pinnacles of symphonic, concertante,
chamber, operatic, and choral music.
This piece arranged for guitar and viola duet is in the
