Mozart

Mozart

by Richard Baker OBE OBE (Author)

Synopsis

This study of Mozart, published to mark the bicentenary of his death, tells the story of his triumphant tours across Europe as a child prodigy, of his unwilling servitude under the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg and of the tragedy of his early death. It constitutes a tribute not only to the composer's musical genius, but also to his warm humanity, aiming to bring the reader closer to Mozart the man and at the same time deepening the appreciation of his music. The author is known for his broadcasting career and for previous books such as "The Magic of Music" and "Richard Baker's Music Guide".
