bittersweet (Mozart) symphony
 
Part of Ebury Street in London is where Mozart spent some time in his youth composing, his family taking in London as part of the Grand Tour in 1760.  As I walk along the road can imagine him sat on a stool scribbling down the next cantata or a lovely melody for a new year.  Ebury Street is near the Belgravia part of Chelsea which was run down in Mozart’s time.  Knightsbridge which now boasts Harrod’s was also known as a den of thieves and charlatan pick pockets so certainly not a place to wander alone at night a few hundred years ago.
