| | Amadeus - The Maestro - Fun Facts, Questions, Answers, Information |
 | | Mozart was born on 27 January 1756, at 8 p.m to his parents, Johann Georg Leopold Mozart ('Leopold') and Anna Maria Mozart (nee Pertl) in Salzburg (now in present day Austria, but at the time an independent city-state, which was an ecclesiastical principality, meaning that it was governed by a prince-archbishop). |
 | | The Mozarts played in Paris for Queen Maria Leszczynska and Louis XV and in fact were honoured with an invitation to the court dinner on New Year's Day, 1763. |
 | | The family was further honoured, and gained great publicity, by being asked to stand by the royal table, where Maria conversed with Amadeus and fed him from her plate (sounds a little like a puppy, doesn't it). |
