  The bicentenary of Mozart's death both confirmed and rejuvenated the enduring appeal of this remarkably gifted composer. Yet our understanding of the man has been clouded; his personality has all too often been seen as an inevitable by-product of genius, a portrayal that is as misleading as it is unsatisfactory. In his biography, Michael Levey sees behind that darkened varnish and reveals the clear image of a man of great liveliness and humanity, not at all at odds with the genius so evident in his music.
