Mozart in Vienna

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Vienna: a relationship that appears perfectly obvious and logical at first since Mozart 
is widely regarded as the main protagonist of the Viennese Classical movement. Yet "Mozart in Vienna" encompasses a time 
span of merely ten years from 1781 to his death in this city in 1791. Relocating to Vienna was important to Mozart in two aspects: he gained freedom from his feudalist chains as court organist and concertmaster for the Archbishop Hieronymus von Colloredo of Salzburg; and furthermore he was able to cut the umbilical chord to his father, Leopold Mozart. Now Mozart lived the life of an independent artist in Vienna, relieved of prior servile obligations. Another crucial step towards self-reliance was his marriage to Constanze Weber in Vienna in August 1782 at St. Stephan's Cathedral. But what was Mozart's actual motivation to move his life from his hometown Salzburg to Vienna?
