Mozart: A Life

â€œMost satisfying . . . A highly accessible initial foray into an astonishing, and inexhaustible, subject.â€ â€”The Cleveland Plain Dealer

Mozartâ€™s music has enthralled listeners for centuries. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozartâ€™s own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozartâ€™s life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozartâ€™s life from age three through to his later yearsâ€”when he penned The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozartâ€™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 resultâ€”a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all timeâ€”is a welcome addition to Johnsonâ€™s extraordinary body of work and makes a perfect gift for classical music lovers and fans of biographies.
