The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life is well known.
Austrian-born to a tyrannical father who worked him - fiercely;
unhappily married to a spendthrift woman; a child-like character
ill at ease amid the aristocratic splendour of the Viennese court;
a musical genius who died young thus depriving the world of future
glories. Yet only that last point is really true. In this
comprehensive biography, John Suchet examines the many myths and
misunderstandings surrounding the world's best-loved composer. From
his early days as a child prodigy performing for the imperial royal
family in Vienna to the last months of his short life, driven to
exhaustion by a punitive workload, one thing remained constant: his
happy disposition. Through trials and tribulations, grand successes
and disheartening setbacks, Suchet shows us the real Mozart -
blessed with an abundance of talent yet sometimes struggling to
earn a living. His mischievous nature and earthy sense of humour,
his ease and confidence in his own incredible abilities; these were
traits that never left him. His music has brought comfort to
countless generations; his life, though brief, is no less
fascinating.
