Wir Entdecken Komponisten Das Wunderkind Aus Salzburg Oder: Vor Lauter Tintenklecksen Kann Er Die Noten Kaum Lesen. Ein Musikalisches Hörspiel Von Katrin Behrend Und Helmut Lesch

Released in 1982 by Deutsche Grammophon, this record is part of the 'Wir entdecken Komponisten' series, a collection of educational audio dramas designed to introduce young listeners to the lives and works of classical masters. Produced during a period when the label sought to broaden the accessibility of their prestigious catalog, the record focuses on the early life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It highlights his prodigious talent and the playful, often chaotic nature of his childhood in Salzburg, blending biographical narrative with excerpts of his most famous compositions.

The audio drama was written by Katrin Behrend and Helmut Lesch, who aimed to demystify classical music by humanizing the composers behind the scores. By centering the story on the image of the 'ink-stained' child struggling to navigate his musical genius, the creators sought to capture the imagination of children while maintaining the high-fidelity production standards associated with the Deutsche Grammophon label. The record was well-received as an engaging pedagogical tool, serving as a staple in German-language music education for children throughout the 1980s.
