Description
Introducing Mozart, a stimulating new series, looks at the influences and historical events that shaped the lives of the great composers. Illustrated in full color, making use of contemporary works of art, these books provide an essential introduction to the lives of those who produced some of the world's most enduring music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on a cold winter's morning in Salzburg, Austria, into a world soon to be torn apart by revolution. As a child he traveled across Europe, playing music for kings and emperors. By the time he was 20 he was one of the most exciting composers in all Europe. But the glittering career that had begun so promisingly was to end in poverty and sadness. Only after his death did people recognize Mozart's true musical genius.
