From the eighteenth century to our own, Mozart has remained one of
the world's most inventive and popular composers. The essays in
this collection examine Mozart and his art from psychological,
historical, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. They set Mozart,
first, in the timeless ahistorical space reserved for individuals
of spectacular creativity, then in his time, and finally in our own
time. Most of the authors are not professional Mozart scholars or
musicologists, but all are Mozart lovers. Each speaks of Mozart and
his accomplishments from a particular position of expertise - as
psychologist, historian, biographer, economist, musicologist,
literary critic, film critic. These essays originated in a
three-day symposium organized by the Woodrow Wilson Center in 1991
to observe the bicentennial of the composer's death. In
nonspecialist language, they seek to draw out the human genius of
Mozart from the divinely inspired Mozart of myth, who took his
notes directly from God. They consider Mozart as prodigy, as
working composer, as family member, as late-eighteenth-century man,
and as an enduring cultural presence, whose significance has
changed over the course of two centuries, but whose stature has
only grown.
