Mozart
Author(s): Maynard Solomon
Review(s):
"Brilliant."
"Clearly the Mozart biography for our time."
"I do not know a musician's biography as satisfying and as moving as this one."
"Maynard Solomon writes with the grace of a novelist, the insight of a philosopher, and the precision of a detective. We come to know Mozart personally, as a musical genius, but more than that, as a living, breathing, thinking person."
"This biography is a compelling read, like a good novel. . . . Every facet of Mozart's life is here. . . . You may even weep, as I did, as you read this affecting account of his last days."
"Maynard Solomon, in his extraordinary new study, Mozart: A Life, has gone much further than any of his predecessors in humanizing his subject. . . . A far more realistic Mozart of flesh and blood, where musical mastery was not a gift of the gods but the life's work of a man."
