Mozart's Letters, Mozart's Life by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
These letters of Mozart span almost 22 years, from his first journey to Italy as a shy teenager to his final months in Vienna. These translations capture the "vibrant, earthy flavour" of his writing, even retaining the misspellings and inaccuracies of the original German.
'Should be on the shelves of every music lover' BBC Music Magazine; 'Whatever he writes about, Mozart imparts his own vivid and unusual personality to it. His view of the world and its inhabitants is always forthright, often deliciously askew. The miracle is that these letters were preserved. Their recipients must have realised they were special. This is a splendid volume and its value is enhanced by a marvellous index.' Michael Kennedy, Sunday Telegraph; 'The great glory of this volume is Spaethling's willingness to embrace Mozart's writing in all its zany, often angry effervescence.' Fiona Maddocks, Observer
