A highly accessible initial foray into an astonishing, and inexhaustible, subject.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Cleveland Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMozart's music has enthralled listeners for centuries. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozart's own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozart's life from age three through to his later years--when he penned \u003ci\u003eThe Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni.\u003c\/i\u003e Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozart's image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died. The result--a bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all time--is a welcome addition to Johnson's extraordinary body of work and makes a perfect gift for classical music lovers and fans of biographies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143126065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Paul Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52051644973237,"sku":"9780143126065","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7ac282ac-a19d-4072-be61-71db2f064af6.jpg?v=1764047501","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mozart-a-life-9780143126065","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
