This is an accessible and highly informative guide to the
life and work of Wolfgang Mozart - from his beginnings
as a child prodigy to his fame and fortune as a young man
in Vienna to his decline in health and popularity that led
to destitution and a tragically early death. The book is
augmented by the inclusion of 20 facsimile documents
connected to Mozart such as: the original playbill advertising
ˇ§The Marriage of Figaroˇ¨; Mozartˇ¦s letter to his father telling
him of his motherˇ¦s death in Paris; and, autograph pages
of Mozartˇ¦s original scores.
