A Life in Letters

The letters of one of the world's greatest composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-seen variously as a child prodigy, musical genius, tragic Romantic artist, and cultural icon-is among the most written-about of all composers. This fascinating set of his letters offers a new understanding of his life story-his marriage, compositions, performances, occasional money worries, opinions of fellow musicians, and complex relationship with his father-and a revealing portrait of both the man and the musician.
