Lucy Worsley traces the forgotten and fascinating story of the young Mozart's adventures in Georgian London. Arriving in 1764 as an eight-year-old boy, London held the promise of unrivalled musical opportunity. But in telling the telling the tale of Mozart's strange and unexpected encounters, Lucy reveals how life wasn't easy for the little boy in a big bustling city. With the demands of a royal performance, the humiliation of playing keyboard tricks in a London pub, a near fatal illness and finding himself heckled on the streets, it was a lot for a child to take. But London would prove pivotal, for it was here that the young Mozart made his musical breakthrough, blossoming from a precocious performer into a powerful new composer. Lucy reveals that it was on British soil that Mozart composed his first ever symphony and, with the help of a bespoke performance, she explores how Mozart's experiences in London inspired his colossal achievement. But what should have earned him rapturous applause and the highest acclaim ended in suspicion, intrigue and accusations of fraud.
九岁就在酒吧弹琴了，莫爹疑心莫家被针对，莫扎特这样精力充沛的小孩子会觉得新奇好玩吧
一开始以为这1小时的纪录片会讲述莫扎特的生平与作品，没想到只是描述了他8岁时因为天赋和高超的钢琴演奏能力，被父母带着一起到伦敦“赚钱”的故事，有意思，真的无法相信一个这么小的孩子能独立写出完整的交响乐。
父亲是出过书的著名音乐家，母亲能识谱弹奏，前面有个姐姐，五个夭折，莫扎特是第七个。不到五岁，父亲就发现了这是个神童，萌发了用神童出名挣钱的想法，带着小莫扎特姐弟开始了各国的巡回演出之旅。伦敦是当时最富有的城市，必然不可错过，伦敦一年，莫扎特从给国王演出沦落到在酒吧演出，8岁写出了第一部交响曲，但面临各种谣言和诽谤，没有挣到钱回乡的路费都发愁，父亲还差点病逝。大城市居不易啊，每一个能成功的孩子，背后可能都有100个失败的家庭。
稚嫩的莫扎特和不识货的伦敦
莫扎特他们家一世都跟金钱无缘
