Litt., X., p. 52.] [Footnote 31: Prutz, Deutsches Museum, II., p. 28.] [Footnote 32: Both the father and son, especially the former, follow closely the course of political and military events, and communicate them to each other.] [Footnote 33: The Archbishop's sister, Marie Franziska (b. 1746), who had married Oliver, Count von Wallis, had a residence assigned her in the archiépiscopal palace, and kept up a sort of regal state.] [Footnote 34: Grimm, Corr. Litt., X., p. 236.] [Footnote 35: There were two Marshals of the name, the Duke and the Count de Noailles: I do not know which of the two is here meant. The first was the father of the Countess de Tessé, Mozart's early patroness (Vol. I., p. 35), and, like her, was interested in literature and art (Lomenie, Beaumarchais, I., p. 206).] [Footnote 36: Tenducci must have taken this composition with him to London. Burney (Barrington's Miscellanies, p. 289) praises it as a masterpiece of invention and technical execution (Pohl, Mozart und Haydn in London, p. 121).] [Footnote 37: Anton Paris was the third court organist in Salzburg.] [Footnote 38: The heir-apparent, afterwards King Max I.] [Footnote 39: Aloysia received a salary of 1,000 florins, her father 400 florins, together with 200 florins as prompter, as Mozart afterwards learnt at Mannheim.] [Footnote 40: He hoped to sell his three pianoforte concertos (238, 246, 271, K.) to the engraver of his sonatas for ready money, and if possible his six difficult piano sonatas (279-284 K.). Whether he succeeded or not I do not know, but they do not seem to have been engraved. His father advised him to insure his connection with the Parisian publishers for the future. In a letter to Breitkopf (August xo, 1781), he mentions Trois airs variés pour le clavecin ou fortepiano, engraved by Heyna, in Paris. These are the variations on Fischer's Minuet (179 K.); on an air from Salieri's "Fiera di Venezia," "Mio caro Adone" (180 K.), mentioned in a letter to his father (December 28,1778); and on "Je suis Lindor," from Beaumarchais' "Barbier de Seville" (354 K.).] CHAPTER XX. THE RETURN HOME. {THE RETURN HOME.} (72) WOLFGANG'S father expected that he would perform his homeward journey without any unnecessary delay, and his anxiety became serious when day after day passed and he received no tidings of his son's approach to Strasburg.
