Mozart's second stay in Paris in 1778 did not go as planned: Mozart found neither a suitable position nor the support he had hoped for. Then his mother, who was accompanying him, died. That same year, he composed brilliant variations for harpsichord on the popular tune "Ah, vous dirai-je maman...".
Equally surprising for the time is the figure of the Chevalier de Saint-George: born in Guadeloupe to a French nobleman and a black slave, he captivates his contemporaries by the diversity of his abilities, whether artistic or athletic. A formidable fencer, he was also an excellent violinist and a talented composer, as shown by his Sonata III for violin and harpsichord.
