Mozart

Code: NFRBM1209PB
For many people, Mozart is the greatest of composers. No words can do justice to his simplicity or his sublimity; he is, like Shakespeare, ageless. So writes Richard Baker in this absorbing study of Mozart, a tribute not only to the composer's musical genius, but also of his warm humanity. With wit and perception, Baker tells the story of Mozart's triumphant tours across Europe as a child prodigy, his unwilling servitude under the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg; enlivened by his rebellious behavior and remarkably earthy sense of humor; and the supreme tragedy of his early death. From the inspired outpourings of the symphonies and concertos to dramatic masterpieces, such as The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni, Mozart's works are among the most popular in the classical repertoire. * Good condition - softcover edition.
