Between 1774 and 1777 Wolfgang worked as Konzermeister at the Prince Archbishop's court. Unfortunately while the Mozart's were on tour in Italy, the Archbishop of Salzburg died and Hieronymus, Count Von Collerdo was the successor. This man did not care much for Mozart's music as his ascendant did. He was also a less generous employer than the Archbishop of Salzburg. Mozart did not feel that the Prince Archbishop was giving him the respect he deserved. Mozart was very confident with his skill and believed that he should be honored for the music that he composed. Quite frankly, he believed because of the skill he carried he should be seated right up there with the throne. Anyhow Mozart continued in his Salzburg post and worked diligently. Throughout his time as Konzermeister he composed several different works including masses, symphonies, all of his violin concertos, six piano sonatas, many serenades and divertimentos and his first great piano concerto, K271. .
In 1777 the Mozart's, seeing limited opportunity in Salzburg for a composer hugely gifted decided to set out on another expedition. Mozart obtained a leave from Salzburg and this time he traveled with his mother. They traveled through Munich, Augsburg and Mannheim but Mozart was not offered a post. The courts of Europe ignored the twenty one year old composer in his search for a more congenial rewarding appointment.
