The Mozarts and Lermontov

The Mozart family had no idea that there was a dark angel assigned to them whose purpose was to destroy them and subjugate the gift God had given to Wolf to the entrapment of the world. When Leopold came up with the bright idea that it would be preferable to show off his brilliant children to the courts of the world to having them play for peasants for free in Salzburg it probably never occurred to him that those thoughts were not really his own, but had been silently planted in his mind. It probably never occurred to him to actually ask God what to do about Wolf, in fact; it seemed so obvious that whatever Leopold thought was right would be. And so, little by little, decision by decision, Leopold forged ahead trying to blaze a path for his daughter, whose gifts were starting to fade by comparison with those of his son, and the boy for whom he wanted to find the best possible job. A still, silent voice could hardly reason with the panoply of exciting ideas that popped into his mind whenever he planned Wolf's future. How could he have know that the strongman was being bound so that the house of Mozart could be destroyed?
