Episode description
It's the day before the Countess KissKiss' birthday. The Bishop would like to give this patron and great lover of Mozart's music one of Amadeus' compositions as a gift. Devilius has made a bet with the Bishop that Amadeus won't be able to write a piece in such a short time. Confident of Mozart's talent as a composer, the Bishop wagers half of his royal household. In an attempt to win the wager, Devilius and Monti the Rat devise a villainous plan. Will Mozart manage to finish his composition on time or will the Bishop have to honor his bet and make Devilius a wealthy man?
MUSIC:
The episode begins with the 3rd Movement of the Violin Sonata in F Major KV 376. Devilius’s evil intentions are musically symbolized by the Phantasie für eine Orgelwalze in F Minor KV 608; in contrast to this is the leitmotif of Leopold Mozart, the 3rd Movement of the Horn Concerto in E Flat Major KV 417. Musically accompanying the entry of Archbishop Sigismund von Schrattenbach is the Minuet D Major KV 94.
