- Mozart Returns to Salzburg
In November 1766 the Mozart family came home to Salzburg, ending their European grand tour on which the children had performed as prodigies.
After the family's European journeys, in which Wolfgang and Nannerl performed as child prodigies, the Mozarts returned to their home city of Salzburg. The supplied passages confirm the tour and the family's Salzburg residence but do not record the precise day of arrival; the legacy row's date of 29 November 1766 could not be verified against the sources. The return closed a journey that had included visits to London, where Wolfgang met Johann Christian Bach, and hardships including near-fatal illnesses suffered by Leopold in London in summer 1764 and by both children in The Hague in autumn 1765.
