Mozart in Vienna 1781-1791 (English and German Edition)
Used Book in Good Condition
The life of Mozart has long been obscured by legend, and the vast international success of Amadeus on stage and screen has only contributed to a distorted image of this most sublime and beloved of composers, whose story is dramatic enough without questionable embellishments. Now Volkmar Braunbehrens has done for Mozart's final decade - the period of his greatest creativity - what H.C. Robbins Landon did in his best selling "1791: Mozart's Last Year." He has stripped away the sentimental myths and accretions to provide an honest, rightly factual account of the mature Mozart against the cultural, social, and political background of the times.
