Wolfgang was ultimately employed by the court music establishment and thus became Leutgeb's colleague. 706: 230:
Letters from the end of Mozart's life suggests that Leutgeb did not mind the teasing and that the two had a good friendship. A letter by Mozart of 6 June 1791 indicates that, while his wife
