Book Reviews of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: A Biography
Book Review: A splendid biography of the most splendid musician!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second Wolfgang Amad? Mozart biography I have read and so far, the best!
Melograni succeeds at smootlhy taking the reader from June 1765 at a London tavern (The swan) where he interpreted at the early age of 9, to Mozart's death bed in 1791 at only 35 years of age.
If yoy saw the Milos Forman's movie "Amadeus" then you have the wrong (very wrong) picture of the life of this genious and playful character.
Chapter after chapter, his works are simply and accurately described, his family affairs "naked", his passions explained, his women revealed, etc.
You are not a "Mozartini" (as sometimes he joyfully called himself) connossieur until you read this book... so, put your records on, download volume and enjoy the reading!
