A three-day symposium, organized by the Departments of Musicology (focus on Salzburg music history) and Music Education at the University Mozarteum Salzburg, traced with Leopold Mozart on the occasion of his 300th birthday in 2019 the relevance of a personality who has shaped musical life not only in the city of Salzburg, but far beyond. For through the jubilarian's erudition, powers of observation and literary activity, impulses still arise today for the work at a university of the arts, in instrumental teaching as well as in scientific discourse. Problems in the history of reception, interpretation research, performance practice, talent research, textbook design and instrumental pedagogy can be traced back to his profile.
