In 1762, Leopold Mozart took his 6-year-old son Wolfgang on a journey to the court in Munich to perform to Prince Elector Maximillian III of Bavaria. The visit marked the beginning of several years of touring for the Mozart family, during which the young Wolfgang entertained and astonished audiences and patrons in cities throughout Europe. For the great 'virtuosi' of the next century, travel was to become a way of life, giving rise to countless stories whose echoes still resound today: from Mozart's proposal to Marie Antoinette to Mendelssohn's inspirational travels in Italy, and the fainting sufferers of 'Lisztomania'.
