A highly accessible initial foray into an astonishing, and inexhaustible, subject.&; &;The Cleveland Plain Dealer Mozart&;s music has enthralled listeners for centuries. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozart&;s own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart&;s life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozart&;s life from age three through to his later years&;when he penned The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozart&;s image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died. The result&;a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all time&;is a welcome addition to Johnson&;s extraordinary body of work and makes a perfect gift for classical music lovers and fans of biographies.
