The life-story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart contained in this volume
closes with his admission to membership in the Accademia
Filarmonica at Bologna, Italy. Mozart was then in his fifteenth
year. Up to that time his life had been a happy one, free from
care, untouched by adversity, and crowned with continuous
successes. He was admired by the people, considered a prodigy by
the greatest composers, and was received with extraordinary honors
at the Courts of Austria, France, Holland, and England. His twenty
remaining years, embittered by enmities and saddened by privations
and misfortunes, find no place in this life-story.
There is no person in musical or general history whose life can be
studied by young people with more advantage, or followed in its
general characteristics with more profit than Johann Sebastian
Bach. The old saying that genius is only the highest capacity for
work has sometimes been attributed to him. Whether he originated
the saying or not, his life illustrates its truth. His industry was
astonishing, whether in adverse or prosperous circumstances, though
his remuneration, considering the magnitude of his achievements,
now seems a beggarly pittance.
