Parlem de Música...

Johann Georg Leopold Mozart (Augsburg, 14 de novembre de 1719 - Salzburg, 28 de maig de 1787) va ser un violinista, teòric i compositor alemany. Fill de Johann Georg Mozart, un enquadernador sense formació musical, es va formar a l'Augsburg Gymnasium (1727-1735) i al Lyceum adjacent a l'escola jesuïta de Sant Salvador (1735-1736) on habitualment va actuar en obres de teatre com a cantant i actor i on va començar a tocar l'orgue i el violí. El 1737 es va independitzar de la seva família i va viatjar tot sol a Salzburg on va entrar a la Universitat Benedictina per estudiar filosofia i jurisprudència. El 1738 es va matricular si bé l'any següent va ser expulsat per la seva conducta d'indiferència i per la poca assistència a classes. Poc després es va convertir en ajudant del músic Johann Baptist, comte de Thurn-Valsassina i Taxis i per a qui Leopold va dedicar el seu primer opus, la Sonate sei da chiesa e da camera op.1 (1740). A partir d'aquells anys, va començar a compondre amb certa regularitat motivant el seu nomenament com a violinista de l'orquestra de l'arquebisbe Leopold Anton Freiherr von Firmian. Paral·lelament, es va convertir en professor de violí dels nens del cor de la Catedral de Salzburg. El 1747 es va casar amb Anna Maria Pertl amb qui va tenir set fills dels quals només dos van sobreviure, Maria Anna ‘Nannerl’ Mozart i Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Aquell mateix any va publicar un dels seus escrits teòrics més importants per títol Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule. I si bé el naixement dels seus fills va condicionar la resta de la vida professional de Leopold, no va deixar de banda la seva labor com a professor, teòric i compositor. No obstant, des del 1756 i fins el 1766 és probable que Leopold col·laborés i participés activament en la composició de les obres del seu fill, ben aviat considerat un geni a Salzburg. Aquest fet va motivar en Leopold una nova funció, la de representar el seu fill, tant com a professor i educador com a l'hora d'organitzar concerts, viatges i trobades amb personalitats de tota mena i condició. A partir del 1778 Leopold es va veure sotmès a les desgràcies personals amb la mort de la seva dona a París aquell mateix any i mentre acompanyava a Wolfgang en una gira. Poc després va haver d'intercedir entre l'arquebisbe Colloredo de Salzburg i el seu fill degut a les nefastes relacions que mantenien. El 1781 Wolfgang va viatjar a viure a Viena si bé Leopold va seguir a Salzburg des d'on va mantenir correspondència sistemàtica amb el seu fill. I si bé la relació de pare i fill es va deteriorar, Leopold va visitar Viena el 1785 observant, amb dissimulat orgull, l'èxit absolut de Wolfgang. Després d'aquesta visita Leopold va tornar a Salzburg on va viure els anys restants de vida amb la seva filla, el seu marit Johann Baptist von Berchtold zu Sonnenberg i el seu net Leopold. El maig de 1787, i lluny de Wolfgang, Leopold va morir a Salzburg.
