By A Customer
This review is from: Letters of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Paperback)
very helpful to read Mozart's own words, & correspondence w/his father & others. would be helpful to have more footnotes, & more of the texts. what is there is tantalizing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mozart: Just a regular guy, July 25, 2011
This book is a fun and quick read. It really is a perfect read on a lazy day at a beach, etc. There isn't anything extraordinary here, but to read Mozart's words is fascinating enough. He uses very colorful language( "I kiss your hands 100,000 times"). He is playful, yet serious, and yet also naughty. Yet he just seems to enjoy life. He also speaks of hearing symphonies all at once and says, " the best gift I have my Divine Maker to thank for". What really jumps out at me though, is, Wolfgang seems to be just a regular guy. He realized he was given the gift of music and he lived his life to the fullest. Shouldn't that be everyone's goal? To live their life to the fullest according to the gift that God has given each one of us.
