Story
Liszt once said that Mozart composed more bars than a trained copyist could write in a lifetime. Mozart's gift and skill with instruments was also remarkable as he mastered all of them except the harp. For example, no sooner had the clarinet been invented and introduced than Mozart began playing and composing for it. In addition to his many insights into Mozart's music, Johnson also challenges the many myths that have followed Mozart, including those about the composer's health, wealth, religion, and relationships.

Would you consider the audio edition of Mozart to be better than the print version?
Audio was clear and well researched
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The description of the complicated and close relationship of Mozart and
his father. Mozart was loved by fellow musicians light hearted.
