Mozart's greatest works were written in Vienna in the decade before
his death (1781-1791). This biography focuses on Mozart's dual
roles as a performer and composer and reveals how his compositional
processes are affected by performance-related concerns. It traces
consistencies and changes in Mozart's professional persona and his
modus operandi and sheds light on other prominent musicians,
audience expectations, publishing, and concert and dramatic
practices and traditions. Giving particular prominence to primary
sources, Simon P. Keefe offers new biographical and critical
perspectives on the man and his music, highlighting his
extraordinary ability to engage with the competing demands of
singers and instrumentalists, publishing and public performance,
and concerts and dramatic productions in the course of a hectic,
diverse and financially uncertain freelance career. This
comprehensive and accessible volume is essential for Mozart lovers
and scholars alike, exploring his Viennese masterpieces and the
people and environments that shaped them.
