Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the great icons of Western music.
An amazing prodigy-he toured the capitals of Europe while still a
child, astonishing royalty and professional musicians with his
precocious skills-he wrote as an adult some of the finest music in
the entire European tradition. Julian Rushton offers a concise and
up-to-date biography of this musical genius, combining a
well-researched life of the composer with an introduction to the
works-symphonic, chamber, sacred, and theatrical-of one of the few
musicians in history to have written undisputed masterpieces in
every genre open to composers of his time. Rushton offers a vivid
portrait of the composer, ranging from Mozart the
Wunderkind-travelling with his family from Salzburg to Vienna,
Paris, London, Rome, and Milan-to the mature author of such classic
works as "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Giovanni", and "The Magic
Flute". During the past half-century, scholars have thoroughly
explored Mozart's life and music, offering new interpretations of
his compositions based on their historical context and providing a
factual basis for confirming or, more often, debunking fanciful
accounts of the man and his work. Rushton takes full advantage of
these biographical and musical studies as well as the definitive
New Mozart Edition to provide an accurate account of Mozart's life
and, equally important, an insightful look at the music itself,
complete with musical examples. An engaging biography for general
readers that will also be an informative resource for scholars,
this new addition to the prestigious Master Musicians series offers
an authoritative portrait of one of the defining figures of
European culture.
