Jeremy Siepmann traces the evolution of Mozart's unique genius, from a precocious childhood dominated by an ambitious father to his tragically early death. Drawing extensively on Mozart's own correspondence, this biography reveals his cheerful, reflective but elusive character and highlights the fulfilment and frustrations brought by life as a freelance musician in an age of rampant change. Part of the Naxos Life and Music series, this illustrated biography is accompanied by two audio CDs of recordings, presenting a representative selection of full movements from Mozart's works.
