Wolfgang Amadé MozartCambridge University Press, 13.03.1997 - 412 Seiten Described as Germany's 'only really exciting Mozart book' of 1991, Georg Knepler's biographical study explores Mozart's life and works from many new perspectives. It sheds light on Mozart's creative psyche, his political leanings and the underlying basis of his musical expression. The author not only shows the complexity of Mozart's music but also helps explain, in readily accessible language, its immediacy and appeal. This is a book about Mozart the man, Mozart the towering genius, and the universal validity of his creations. |
