Title: Mozart auf der Reise nach Prag
Description: Eduard Mörike used the occasion of Mozart's actual fall 1787 journey from Vienna to Prague to stage his new opera "Don Giovanni" there, as an occasion to have Mozart and his wife Konstanze spend some time in the company of the fictional family of a certain Count von Schinzberg. We learn of how Mozart's creative process often worked, what the overt reasons for his financial failure were, of his generosity as a human being, and of his own premonitions of his early death.
