Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In terms of musical composition, all but the first five of his
thirty-five years were astoundingly productive for Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart (1756 91). A stream of glorious symphonies, piano concertos,
chamber music, operas and the sublime but unfinished Requiem poured
from his pen. German philologist and archaeologist Otto Jahn (1813
69) was inspired to write a scholarly biography of Mozart following
a conversation at Mendelssohn's funeral in 1847. He immersed
himself in intensive research on the composer and his music,
publishing the first edition of this landmark work in four volumes
between 1856 and 1859. A second edition followed in 1867,
incorporating new material and making use of Kochel's 1862
catalogue of Mozart's works. It is from this edition that Pauline
D. Townsend made her three-volume English translation, first
published in 1882. Volume 1 covers Mozart's life to 1778, including
tours with his father and employment under Archbishop Colloredo."
