Mozart, aged 13, is a piano virtuoso. He has signed a four (4) year contract with Beethoven to learn specific piano techniques to improve his skills. The terms of the contract stated that:

a. Beethoven would teach Mozart piano free of charge;

b. During the four (4) year period, Mozart could not accept performance engagements for the piano other than those under Beethoven; and

c. Beethoven would employ Mozart to perform on stage for at least two (2) paid performances per year.

Mozart accepted a performance engagement from Johann, to highlight his skills on the violin, as his income from Beethovens employment was insufficient for his support. As a result, Beethoven now wishes to sue Mozart for breach of contract.
