Leopold Mozart -- Wolfgang's father -- was known for his tone poems. His Peasants' Wedding was very popular, and his Toy Symphony was copied out in full score and performed all over Europe, usually attributed to Joseph Haydn. But today we'll enjoy another of most evocative works of winter and holiday good cheer: A Sleigh Ride.

And if this does not bring a smile to your face, I suggest you play it for the nearest child and mimic their reaction ;)

The characterization of Leopold Mozart has always seemed dark and severe. This reveals a very different side to the man. Thank you for posting this!
