| Abstract | A full and expert selection of Mozart's correspondence, from his years as a chld 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. |
