While working in this city, Mozart squabbled with his patron, Archbishop Colloredo, until being dismissed in 1781. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this Austrian city where Mozart wrote most of his early works and where he was born.
ANSWER: Salzburg
[10m] During his Salzburg years, Mozart wrote nine of these masses, whose shorter length makes them appropriate for regular Sundays, unlike a missa solemnis, which is for special occasions.
ANSWER: missa brevis [or missae breves]
[10h] It is conventional to claim that Mozart’s first masterpiece of his Salzburg period was this E-flat concerto, whose soloist unusually enters in the second bar rather than after a long orchestral exposition. Its most common nickname is based on a misspelling of its dedicatee’s name.
ANSWER: “Jeunehomme” Concerto [or “Jenamy” Concerto; or Piano Concerto No. 9; or K. 271]
