On 9th June 1763 the Mozart family set off on a grand tour of Europe, returning to Salzburg after nearly three-and-a-half years’ absence. Their journey took them as far afield as London where the Mozarts stayed for some fifteen months. There the young Wolfgang met Johann Christian Bach, whose music exerted a profound influence on him, and he played, with his sister Nannerl, to audiences ranging from the King and his immediate family to the fashionable set who frequented the celebrated Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens. During these years of travel Mozart absorbed a bewildering range of new musical styles and made rapid progress as a composer. As early as May 1764, a few weeks after their arrival in London, Leopold Mozart wrote: "What he knew when we left Salzburg is a mere shadow compared with what he knows now. It exceeds all that one can imagine"; and on 8th June he proudly observed: "My boy knows in this his eighth year what one would expect only from a man of forty".
