Before Mozart could continue his journey to Berlin, he and Lichnowsky went their separate ways and Mozart had to come up with his travel expenses. He performed for the Prussian court and received a lucrative commission for string quartets and piano sonatas – which he never finished. Also, Mozart never gave a public concert in Berlin. Low entrance fees dispelled his hopes of big earnings. Finally, he returned to Vienna in July 1789, exhausted and without money. One year later Constanze was expecting her fifth child and fell ill again. The endless struggle for Mozart’s existence continued.
