Episode description
The Mozart family is on a concert tour and their favorite bishop has asked them to take a valuable violin to Munich as a present for the prince-elector. As always, Devilius wants to get the Mozarts into trouble, so he replaces the valuable violin with a worthless old fiddle. He hopes to make it look like the Mozarts have sold the valuable violin in order to make money. Then, Devilius will simply hand over the real violin and receive generous praise. In the end, it is Amadeus' musical genius alone that takes center stage.
