Here they encountered a culture which was to influence Wolfgang Amadeus for the rest of his life. The "Manzuoli style" of virtuoso singing, the Italian school of composition and a relatively new instrument called the pianoforte were to have a profound impact on Moyart's creativity. One of the many musical exercises Leopold Mozart used with his children involved copying out the works of other composers and then using them as a point of departure for their own pieces. Two of Mozar's earlist piano concerti were "pasticcio" arrangements for piano and orchestra made by Wolfgang and Leopold together, and based on piano sonatas by other composers. Even at this early age, the works bear the indelible imprint of the sublime musical master.
