Mozart by Paul Johnson
A lively, compact biography that traces the composer's life from prodigious childhood through the pressures of court and public patronage to his mature achievements and early death, combining narrative of events with accessible musical commentary; it portrays his irrepressible humor, social difficulties and financial struggles alongside close readings of major works—operas, symphonies, concertos and chamber pieces—and argues for the originality and lasting influence of his music within the cultural and political milieu of his time.
