From the Paper:

"He showed musical ability even as a young child, and was studying music by the age of ten. Only a few years later he was orphaned. His talent, however, won him the attentions of Florian Gassman, the court Kapellmeister in Vienna, who took it upon himself to nurture the boy's potential. Salieri became quite popular at court and developed a personal friendship with the emperor himself, which led to regular invitations to attend the many musical and social gatherings of the city."
