Having completed his studies he entered the family of the Count of Thurn as Chamber musician. In 1743 he obtained a situation as violinist in the chapel of the Bishop of Salzberg. His Method for the violin, published in 1756, was long considered the best work of its kind in existence. In 1762 Leopold Mozart obtained the post of assistant director at the Court of Salzburg, and devoted the whole of his spare time in developing the talents of his gifted children one only of whom lived to become famous.
