But here commenced the precarious
existence which the composer was for the future destined to lead.
For, not only was the taste of Vienna then, as now, proverbially
variable and flippant-not only was concert-giving an uncertain
speculation, and teaching an inconstant source of income-but in a
man, who, like Mozart, had, from time to time, strong impulses to
write for the theatre, it frequently happened that the order and
regularity of his engagements were made to yield to the object
which engrossed him; and that the profits of his time were
sacrificed on the one hand, without any proportionate advantage on
the other."
Let it be observed that Mozart's payment for teaching among the Austrian nobility, was, at the rate of five shillings a lesson!
Mozart was distinguished for virtues which belong only to great or good men when labouring in the field of emulation-an absence of all envy and jealousy, of which he was himself too much the object, and a just and generous estimate of excellence in others.
