Mozart

"Andrew Steptoe's Mozart uses extracts from the voluminous correspondence of the Mozart family to amplify an intriguing story that is not only a model of clarity but refreshingly free from traditional sentimental clutter. He places the composer's father at the heart of Mozart's personal and creative life and deploys the cultural, social, and musical context of the late-eighteenth-century Habsburg empire to present a rich, vivid, and sympathetic portrait of an artist whose popularity is matched by his greatness."--from book jacket.
