Everybody knows Mozart for his operas, symphonies and concert pieces, but not all know that he was a pioneer who fought for professional and artistic freedom. The composer is often considered the first musician who emancipated himself from the subordination of the feudal system and worked as a freelancer.  What did those freelance days look like? How did it influence his compositions during that time? Answer these and more questions by joining us in part three of Mozart Momentum: in conversation: A freelancer is born. Together with pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and violinist Matthew Truscott, host Yannick Dondelinger digs into the archives to unravel the life of Mozart, the freelancer.

1785/1786, two of the most fruitful years in Mozart's life as a composer, inspired the MCO and Leif Ove Andsnes to partner up for a multiyear recording- and performing project: Mozart Momentum 1785/1786.

As the second album of the project launches, focusing on the year 1786, Between the Bars hosts a four-part miniseries podcast exploring the life of Mozart in those two vital years.

In part one: 'Mozart Momentum in Conversation: The Inventor', we join host Yannick Dondelinger as he discusses Mozart as the inventor of the piano concerto and the importance of his presence in Vienna together with Leif Ove Andsnes and MCO concertmaster Matthew Truscott.
