Для постоянной жизни в Вене у В.А. Моцарта было много причин: это был город высокой музыкальной культуры, куда он сбежал от деспота-архиепископа, здесь была свобода выбора в создании музыкальных произведений, финансовая независимость, здесь он женился, появились новые друзья (масоны), элитное положение при дворе императора и др.
