Download or read book Mozart written by Wolfgang Hildesheimer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1991-09 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive biography, Wolfgang Hildesheimer demythologizes Mozart, revealing him as a flawed and puzzling human being, but a matchless artist. Hildesheimer's fresh approach to the music itself, his telling quotations from Mozart's letters (Mozart was one of the greatest and most outrageous of letter writers), and his sympathetic but unsentimental insights make this a remarkably readable portrait of one of the most popular composers of all time.
