Großen Westeuropareise 1765/66. Dies kann allerdings nur vermutet werden.
Ob Leopold Mozart eine komplette Shakespeare-Ausgabe besessen hat, ist
nicht bekannt. Wann und wo Leopold Mozart diese Abschrift anfertigte,
ist ebenfalls nicht bekannt. Möglicherweise besuchte die Familie Mozart
am 9. April 1765 die einzige Aufführung des Theaterstücks dieser Spielzeit
in Covent Garden.</note></div></add_note>
