NO remainder marks. Black and white illustrations. [From front jacket flap] A full and expert selection of Mozart's correspondence, from his years as a child prodigy to his early death in penury. Mozart's letters paint a wonderfully detailed and candid portrait of the musical genius. His writing is unstudied, conversational, vital and intimately personal, including somewhat erratic spelling and fragments of foreign languages he collected during his extensive travels. The man who composed such glorious music - music which is at once serious, joyous and eternal - appears through his letters as a man with an eye for human comedy. The letters are often amusing and scurrilous, and frequently scatological. Through these letters we travel with him on his journeys in Europe as a child and see the great love and reverence he bore for his father change to conflict with his approaching manhood. We observe his Court adventures and read about amours both high and low, his marriage, and his terrible struggles with poverty. Just as his growing sense of power and confidence as a composer emerges, and fortune lies only around the corner, his tragic death occurs. The Letters of Mozart is a unique personal record, carefully preserved, selected and translated to give a portrait of an incomparable figure from musical history.
