On December 15, 1771, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father Leopold returned to Salzburg from their second trip to Italy. Just one day after their arrival, the Archbishop of Salzburg, Siegmund von Schrattenbach, a significant patron of Mozart, passed away. He was succeeded by Hieronymus von Colloredo, under whose stricter regime the conditions for the Mozart family changed notably. Colloredo appointed an Italian maestro di cappella and restricted the Mozarts’ extensive travels, which compelled Wolfgang to increase his compositional output. During this period, he primarily composed symphonies, divertimenti, and solo concertos, specifically meant for the evening concerts at the court.
