E-mail this pageE-mail this page Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

In this compact book, historian and biographer Peter Gay paints a portrait of the musical genius based on factual details rather than long-established myths. He delves into Mozart's complex relationship with his father, the daunting role of being born a child prodigy, and his exploration of new musical territory, particularly opera. A volume in the excellent "Penguin Lives" series.  (AST43, $13.00)
