Description

From the author of 1791: Mozart's Last Year and general editor of The Mozart Compendium, this international bestseller has received widespread critical acclaim. Entertainingly and authoritatively written, and richly illustrated with contemporary paintings and engravings, it provides a vivid account of the last decade of Mozart's short but amazingly prolific career - one of the most remarkable periods in the entire history of Western music.
