| Abstract | This new biography is intended for the ordinary reader rather than the specialist. It is in the main a straightforward account of Mozart's life, with its alternations of triumph and neglect, happiness and discontent. The social and economic background is well conveyed, and there are convincing pictures of the principal characters, Mozart himself, his father, and his wife. There is no detailed criticism of the music, but the major works (and particularly the operas) are given their due place in the story. |
