From the Publisher
³For many people, Mozart is the greatest ofcomposers. No words can do justice to his simplicity or his sublimity;he is, like Shakespeare, ageless.² So writes Richard Baker in thisabsorbing study of Mozart, a tribute not only to the composer¹smusical genius, but also of his warm humanity. With wit andperception, Baker tells the story of Mozart¹s triumphant tours acrossEurope as a child prodigy, his unwilling servitude under thePrince-Archbishops of Salzburg ‹ enlivened by his rebellious behaviorand remarkably earthy sense of humor ‹ and the supreme tragedyof his early death. From the inspired outpourings of the symphoniesand concertos to dramatic masterpieces, such as The Marriage ofFigaro and Don Giovanni, Mozart¹s works are among the mostpopular in the classical repertoire. Mozart: An Illustrated Biographybrings us closer to the composer, deepening our appreciation of hismusic.
